OFF - Odense International Film Festival

Denmark

festival

OFF is Denmark’s most courageous and most adventurous short film festival. We always offer a varied and experimenting film program garnered with thought-provoking off-screen experiences, debates, workshops, concerts and much more.
Every year in August, film enthusiasts from all over the world have the opportunity of catching an exceptional selection of Danish and international short films in Odense that would otherwise never reach the big screen. This year is special as it marks our 50th anniversary, so we urge you to save the date and come celebrate with us!
OFF is Denmark’s international, Oscar-, EFA-, BAFTA- and Robert qualifying short film festival and the oldest film festival in Denmark.
