We often get asked if we have cash prizes for our award winning films. The answer is no. The reality is; we are a young festival and we are in a growing phase. We have small budgets to work on and we do this out of passion and hard work.  However, supporting young local filmmakers like @guimontalex will be our mandate in the coming years. We want to see more filmmakers in our region work to find great local stories like “Wetsuits for Hire”. We feel that our region has a lot to say and filmmakers like Alex deserve a spot on our screen. We hope this year is inspiring the next generation of local filmmakers to get their films submitted to us in the coming years.  BREATHTAKERS  CHANGEMAKERS GROUNDBREAKERS

Running into the home stretch of #OAFF2019. 3 more screenings at the Mayfair Theatre over the next 2 days.
While we often thank our Community Partners that support the event but it would be a massive oversight to not mention the Mayfair as part of the total package.  The iconic venue, sound, the history, and most of all, the staff and all they do to make these events work magically.

See you all at the Mayfair this weekend and make sure to say an extra thank you to their people if you see them.  BREATHTAKERS CHANGEMAKERS GROUNDBREAKERS  Presented by @five2nine_ca @mayfairtheatre

What a three night run we just had at @UOCampus.  From an incredible back and forth from @guntherlawrence & @lonnie.r.bedwell, to the messages of positivity from @steezyapache & @dmiles1_apache, to the world of sound and science from @_sinequanon_.  We saw the crowd mesmerized by @jordanmanleyphoto ’s Treeline and the energy of @nicholascastel. We connected to culture through @urban.inuit.613, @deeds14xo, & Derrick Pottle. We let @merrybrown take us on a journey of learning and curiosity.
We learned, we shared, we came together as a community. Our team at #OAFF2019 couldn’t be more proud to see what film is capable of giving to people.
See you at the Mayfair this weekend!  BREATHTAKERS CHANGEMAKERS GROUNDBREAKERS  Presented by @five2nine_ca
