​SCREENINGS:

Combining the love for nature and outdoor cinema, Oscillation Transia will be screening works for its fourth year in outdoor areas around the U.S.

Oscillation Transia will utilize amphitheaters located within many parks, and also incorporating "pop up" screenings in more remote locations. Using a projector and solar generator, Oscillation Transia has been able to screen in a wide range of locations -- usually uncharted territory for traditional film festivals.
