Oakland International Film Festival

The 23rd Oakland International Film Festival

Our Mission Is To Promote Independent Filmmakers And The Stories They Tell And To Utilize Film As A Tool To Improve The Economic And Social Issues Which Plague  Oakland, Ca And The World Around. 

While We Call Ourselves “Civilized” Too Soon And Too Often Are Guns And Bombs Being Used Against Another Human Being. The Civil Means Peace And Peace Is What This Small Planet Needs And Can Have, If We Focus Our Attention On Raising The Next Generations And Their Generations. With A Lack Of Vision And A Lack Of Compassion, The Itchy Finger Cares Too Little For The Stranger On The Other Side And Takes That Life.
