Southern Oasis Film Festival is a celebration of Filmmakers, by FIlmmakers and true Cinephiles. Whether you shot a guerilla style film or a budgeted film, we want to see it. Southern Oasis Film Festival champions the artists, encourages collaboration and growth! We welcome films from all over the world!

We cant wait to see you at the festival, where the love of cinema knows no bounds. Created by cinephiles for cinephiles, we celebrate the diverse and boundless world of film. At our festival, we embrace the notion that film is an art form that transcends boundaries and genres. Whether it's drama, comedy, horror, documentary, or experimental, we believe that every film has a story to tell and deserves to be shared.

Our mission is simple: to provide a platform for filmmakers to showcase their work and for audiences to experience the magic of cinema in all its forms. We believe in the power of storytelling to inspire, provoke thought, and evoke emotions. That's why we welcome filmmakers from all backgrounds and genres to participate in our festival.

    We wish we could have been there this year, but we are happy that Doom & Despair got selected and won an award!

    All correspondence was top notch, and very chill! :)

    Thank you for the opportunity to participate in your festival. I am truly honoured that my script, Trust Me, was selected as a nominee and grateful for the chance to showcase the rich characters of Norwegian folktales and lore.

    It was an honor to have our film selected. While we weren't able to attend in person, the communication, hospitality and reputation of the festival made this a big event on our festival calendar.

    Such a fun festival! Awesome location, amazing staff and volunteers, engaging programming, and truly incredible panels/sessions. This team worked really hard to make every single person feel welcome and they succeeded! They even set up a pop up farmer's market with local treats! So honored to have screened my feature film, Knee High, here and hope to return in the future with more films. Cannot speak highly enough of this festival!
