The Oneota Film Festival will take place March 5-8, 2026 in downtown Decorah.
Held among the spectacular rivers and bluffs of the Driftless Region in Northeastern Iowa, the Oneota Film Festival, OFF, brings compelling, innovative, and inspiring films and filmmakers to Decorah, Iowa, from around the globe. Through films that illuminate the human condition, OFF aims to engage a large and diverse audience in the critical issues of our time.
Films are submitted to our festival from all over the world.
A panel of judges review and films and select the ones they know our audiences will love.
The curated list of films will be available in late January and encompasses a wide variety of film lengths, styles, and topics.
There truly is something for everyone.
Come for a single film or stay for the whole weekend!
The festival is FREE to attend and open to all!
