The Oak Cliff Film Festival, an annual event in Oak Cliff, Dallas, brings together the finest independent movies and a community of uniquely special individuals. Embracing the 11th theme of "Cinema Superfriend," the festival excites cinema-goers who eagerly anticipate to meet super friends and befriend super films. The festival highlights four characters that represent different groups of cinema-goers.

​

Firstly, there's Ovie, the forager of films, the seeker of cinema, and the Magellan of movies. Ovie's passion lies in exploring and discovering hidden cinematic gems. Next, we have Chorpalorp, the Oak Cliff enthusiast, a champion of community, and a devoted friend to all. Chorpalorp embodies the spirit of camaraderie and the love for the neighborhood. Then, there's Flim, a group of artists and makers who defy definition and passionately embrace their self-defined designation. Their creativity knows no bounds. Lastly, we encounter Flam, the wistful drifter, the daylight dreamer, and the wandering wonderer in a wayward world. Flam's unique perspective adds a touch of whimsy to the festival.

Oak Cliff itself is a vibrant and culturally rich neighborhood adorned with historic theater venues. However, during the festival, it becomes even more captivating as it welcomes the freshest and most enthralling movies of the time.
