The Oceanside International Film Festival (OIFF) is an annual film festival held in Oceanside, California. It was founded in 2009 by the Oceanside Cultural Foundation.[1]
History
The 11th annual festival was the first in person event since 2019. It ran from February 22-27, 2022.[2] Prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, the festival was held annually in August each year. It was virtual in August 2020, followed up by a virtual "best of" festival in February 2021. This transition was to permanently move the annual festival to February.[3]
Executive director Lou Niles curates the festival along with his wife, director Carly Starr Brullo-Niles.[4] Dmitriv Demidov is the co-chair, Michael E. Vasquez is a committee chair member,[5] and Sterling Anno is the co-programmer.[6]
