OSCILLATION TRANSIA FILM FESTIVAL (OTFF) is celebrating one wild idea:
to travel America self sustainably out of the back of a car, sharing innovative films in some of the most inspirational places in the United States.
Combining the love for nature and outdoor cinema, OTFF will be screening works in national parks and rural areas around the U.S. Films will be exploring themes of movement, nomadic living, adventure and the natural world.
OTFF will be screening works by national and international filmmakers on the eastern coast of the United States, Summer 2017. And throughout western and central areas of the United States, Fall 2017.
Utilizing amphitheaters located within many parks, and also incorporating "pop up" screenings in more remote locations.

Travel schedule and festival line up is to be announced February 2017.
Early bird deadline: November 12th 2016
Regular Deadline: December 31st 2016
Late Deadline: January 28th 2017
