The October Outdoor Film Festival (“OOFF”) is a celebration of stories of outdoor playgrounds from ‘local spots and scenes’ around the world. Founded with the mission of sharing natural beauty and adventures in our own backyards, OOFF seeks to bring people together through stories of people living life to their fullest outdoors.
OOFF is calling on filmmakers, activists, thrill seekers and outdoor enthusiasts to share stories special to them from their local area. No community is too small or adventure too quirky, this festival aims to inspire people to explore and realize how much adventure is available right outside their door! Here are some submission themes we love!
-Films about people and our relationships with the outdoors and each other.
-Nature documentaries that explore the animals, plants, and ecosystems of Earth.
-Adventure sports films that make your adrenaline rush.
-Stories of the planet - whether they be about a specific geographic areas or cultures, or the sustainability of the planet itself.
-Films that capture the spirit of exploration and adventure in frontiers new and familiar, local or distant.
OOFF serves as a hub for all with a passion and enthusiasm for the outdoors. Hosted on Canada’s Atlantic coast, the festival also encourages attendees to explore and experience the activities the area offers.
Outdoor Outdoor Film Festival acknowledges that the beautiful land on which it operates is the traditional unceded territory of the Wəlastəkwiyik, Mi'kmaq, and Peskotomuhkati. OOFF respects the history, spirituality, and culture of the Wəlastəkwiyik, Mi'kmaq, and Peskotomuhkati people and that of other Indigenous people who have migrated here.
