Why Odense International Film Festival 2020?

 OFF is access to the world and insight into one self. A break from the grey everyday life where obligation is replaced by adventurous desire. Desire for more. Desire for the new. Every year ’Brandts Klædefabrik’ in Odense is transformed into a magical experience. Everyone is invited, large and small, to experiences that cover the entirety of the emotional spectrum. Odense International Film Festival is thus not just short film in the dark and seats of red velvet. It’s an event that opens the doors to a world filled with inspiration, surprises and emotions. In the days leading up to the festival and all through the week itself, all of Odense is imbued with events, workshops, music, party, seminars, interesting guests and impressions from all over the world. And they are all here; film critics, film people, up-comings, dreamers and marvelors – and hopefully YOU!
