Founded in 2017, the Oslo Film Festival takes place annually. Aiming to bring the best independent films to the heart of the Norwegian capital, OFF accepts submissions of all genres by filmmakers from all walks of life. Our core philosophy is to encourage young aspiring filmmakers and support them to enter the film industry. With the past editions being sold out, fills us with honour and joy seeing that the OFF attracts a mixed audience of locals and foreigners of various backgrounds, as well as filmmakers and students.
We always host our Festivals in local cinemas and multicultural spaces, supporting the city's historical venues while creating events that are accessible to all. Our screening categories span a wide range, including shorts and feature films, documentaries, animations and music videos.
The Oslo Film Festival is organised by HFP, a pioneer organisation that runs Film Festivals and other events showcasing and championing ideas of diversity. Through our global series of film Festivals that spread over 13 countries, we open the path to voices with a compelling story to share. Our main mission is to honour independent cinema and establish a network of artists eager to join forces and spread their work across all nations. HFP runs 24 film Festivals worldwide.
