Film Festival O is a new Online International genre based Film Festival, breaking down the barriers between filmmakers and film lovers. Film Festival O is your ticket to imagination, bringing you behind the scenes access to your soon to be favorite films, industry insider information, access to exciting filmmakers from around the world, and opportunities to network with established names, emerging talents, and film lovers alike.

By providing a platform for self expression, we make filmmaking more rewarding and help filmmakers to connect with audience members on a more intimate level. With a total of $25,000 in cash prizes awarded by our Jury of experts, a Tip Jar for all films, Viewers Choice Awards, professional and student categories, Film Festival O creates a community that supports storytelling at all levels.

At Film Festival O, we look to make the film festival experience more accessible through digital and mobile devices, which will increase the level of exposure for filmmakers and film lovers in regards to content. The festival presents 75 of the best films each selected genre has to offer and events across 7 days. Our on-demand, online format allows viewers to be transported to another world from anywhere. To begin the next year's festivals, we announce the winners of our Viewers Choice Awards from the following year during our live event in a selected city. With a diverse mixture of offerings, the place to be where you can meet filmmakers, share stories, explore new trends and connect is at Film Festival O.
