The heart of our festival lies in the audience experience. After the final screening, attendees will cast their votes for the film that resonated most deeply, with the winner receiving a $1,000 cash prize.

2025 RECAP
September 24, 2025, marked the very first Orem Film Festival. We are deeply grateful to the 610 guests who attended our debut celebration of independent cinema and original art. It was an honor to watch these ten films on the big screen at the Geneva Megaplex. Read the highlights from the event and this year’s award-winning filmmakers.
The Orem Film Festival (OFF) is looking for good soldiers of cinema—those with a strong artistic vision, earnest ambition, and a deep love for creativity and community. We encourage filmmakers and creators to submit their work and join us in sharing our passion for this medium.
