WHY-The Oakland International Film Festival highlights the City of Oakland as a destination for the arts.  Oakland has a history and rich tapestry of artistic talent.  Filmmakers from around the world reinforce tourism in Oakland and the San Francisco Bay Area with their films that span many genres, many cultures and walks of life.

This year's theme is "Rediscover Oakland through film." In short, this theme, is our personal journey of navigating the changes in Oakland since COVID. i.e., a few places we have hosted screenings, mixers, etc., have gone out of business.  Who is left or still standing?

Still standing does not just mean in a physical sense, like who is open for business.  Still standing also represents a group of people, despite the "covid lockdown" still working, writing, directing and dreaming of manifesting a better day.  A prime example is the 20- year vision of Familyhood and its do- now strategy 1^st Saturdays – The Official Monthly Volunteer Day at Schools.

The Oakland International Film Festival is a testament to Oakland's artistry and the positive happenings in the City of Oakland.   Visit www.oiff.org for a complete schedule.  Social Media: @Oiff (https://twitter.com/oiff?ref_src=twsrc%5Egoogle...)   ; https://www.facebook.com/oiff.org; and @oaklandfilmfestival (https://www.instagram.com/oaklandfilmfestival/?...).
