Velkommen til Oslo Independent Film Festival! / Welcome to Oslo Independent Film Festival!

Oslo Independent Film Festival bids you welcome to our yearly festival in coordination with ‘Cinemateket' in the heart of Oslo. Known for our famous mountains, excruciatingly cold weather, and delicious waffles we look forward to seeing faces from all over the world attend our warm, friendly and diverse film festival.

OFF is an international and independent film festival and therefore we accept submissions of all genres and to encourage our youth we have opened several affordable categories only applicable for students.

Press will be invited to our next event where we will also film and conduct Q&A interviews with the filmmakers.

We offer two types of submission rates. The standard categories which include Best Feature, Best Short, Best Documentary etc. and add-on categories (such as Best Director, Best Producer etc.) which come at a fixed price of $10.

If you have any questions, do not hesitate to contact us or follow us on Facebook and our website.

We look forward to reviewing your work and seeing you in Oslo!
