Oceanside International Film Festival is a public event conceived and once again underwritten by Oceanside Cultural Arts Foundation, which is OIFF¡¯s parent entity and 501c3 non-profit organization (www.ocaf.info ). OCAF brings quality artistic, visual, performance, and musical arts to Oceanside and its surrounding communities. The organizational committee of OIFF is resolved to make the 2013 event a success with strong industry experience of its members and fun screening techniques to ensure an enjoyable experience for all. Among the highlights of the festival will be its traditional red-carpet opening gala, recognition of the industry activists, and closing ceremonies with Best-In-The-Category honorary announcements, Best Picture Trophy, and Audience Choice Award.
The festival showcases features, documentaries, shorts, animation, and student works from filmmakers who have not yet signed distribution agreements and look for recognition among wider audiences. Simply besides opportunities for exposure in front of wide audiences, elevating the chances for landing distribution deals for movies like ¡°Callous¡± and ¡°Working Class¡± is one of the high goals of this non-profit organization. (Winner of OIFF-2009¡äs Best Feature award ¡°Callous¡± from Oceanside & L.A. based filmmakers - thanks in part to Oceanside Intl Film Festival ¨C has been propelled to stardom and found its way to distribution. OIFF-2012¡äs Best Picture ¡°Working Class¡± from San Diego filmmakers is now also available on DVD.) |
