Oak Cliff Film Festival

The Oak Cliff Film Festival is an independent film festival held over four days each summer in the Oak Cliff neighborhood of Dallas, with the Texas Theatre as its headquarters and screenings at the Kessler Theater, the Bishop Arts Theatre Center and other local venues. It is the main program of the nonprofit Oak Cliff Film Society and was first held in 2012 by filmmakers who had bought the Texas Theatre in 2010. The festival shows new narrative and documentary features and shorts, with Q&As, panels and parties, and gives jury awards in five categories, including Texas student shorts. The 15th edition ran July 30–August 2, 2026. Submissions are taken through FilmFreeway; 2027 dates had not been announced when this was checked.
