We were so pleased our movie “Morituri” got awarded the Best Actress award, as well as Grand Jury Prize for Best First-Time Filmmaker !
The Oniros Team is easy to talk to, answers quickly whenever you have a question. And the Jury has apparently pretty good taste 😉

“About“ (Short Film) – Writer/Director/Producer, UK
We were so pleased our film “About” was awarded Best Cinematography and was a finalist for Best Indie Short this January! These guys run a great online monthly awards event, with clear communication, strong online/social presence, snappy laurels and a lovely bespoke certificate for the winners. They even went the extra mile when we enquired about a small change to our certificate and turned it around in minutes! Really recommend submitting

“Sydney Sleuthers“ (Web-Series) – Writer/Director/Producer, AU
I’ve thoroughly enjoyed the monthly aspect to this festival. So often we wait months to find out how our films are received but I like the monthly awards all building to the Gala Awards in August. The crew behind the festival have been kind, supportive and their communication is great, especially regarding updates. Thank you Oniros Team!

“Tennessee Whiskey Girl” (Music Video) – Singer/ Songwriter, IT
One of the best experience of my entire life. I really felt like I was in Hollywood! Very well organized and professional. They’re all very nice. Another level from every Italian festival I’ve been to, Oniros really know how to treat artists and guests.
Frederick Keeve★★★★★
“The Accompanist” (Feature Film) – Director, USA
OFA is a tremendous IMDb-qualifying festival that has given a BIG boost to my feature film THE ACCOMPANIST during our festival awards season in the second half of 2019. It’s nice to see a festival that judges films on their ARTISTIC AND TECHNICAL MERIT and not which “star” or “known actor” is in it. My film has some experienced actors in it, but because it has a lot of professional-level dancing in it there are some dancers turned actors. Either way, I believe Oniros Film Awards gives those deserving of recognition their due, and not invested in film festival “politics.”

“GPS” (Series Pilot) – Producer, ES
The best film festival you could dream of is this one! We just came back yesterday after spending Saturday watching the screening of some of the Best of Year nominees and then the red carpet event in the evening. It was like a European Oscar ceremony, with a Talent Show mixed in with the winners. Alice Lussiana as Master of Ceremony and Roberto Accornero were top class and made me feel so welcome from the beginning to the end…when I heard my name called as the Best Producer of the Year Award and walked up to the stage with wobbly knees from the surprise!! The trophy is beautiful and HEAVY…it’s the Real Deal! Thank you to the whole Oniros team and especially Charles for the warm welcome and all those emails!!

Exceptionally outstanding film festival. Just the look of it is so mesmerizing – looks like Oscars. Great communication. Really great people. If you are a dreamer, this is the festival for you. I highly recommend this film festival unequivocally without any reservations. Thank you for selecting TV pilot Cancer as a Finalist for the month for the December 2019.

Thank you very, very much!

Extremely professional. Kind & caring. One feels like they sincerely care about independent filmmakers. I would recommend this film festival to all filmmakers. Take advantage of submitting to several categories to reward the people who work so hard on these projects. It’s worthwhile to get them notice from a respected Film Festival.
Matthieu Vinel ★★★★★
“Namibia” (Documentary) – Director, FR
I was pleased to see that my film “Namibia” was treated like all the other films presented, that the Oniros team took the time to watch it despite the amateur context in which it was made (budget of 2400 $). I also appreciated the follow-up and the quality of the exchanges I had with the team. “Namibia” won 2 awards at the Oniros festival and I’m delighted about it. Thank you to the festival team and congratulations for your energy and enthusiasm!

“En Garde!” (Short Film) – Director, LTU
Such a great experience to be showcased in ONIROS FILM AWARDS. Highly recommend to every filmmaker, especially independent. Very good communication, attention to detail, highly professional team. The ability to enter many film genres and subcategories is the key point, in addition to social media promotions, IMDb mentions and certificates – all this leads to success and helps promote your film. 5 Starts out of 5! Grazie mile!

“The Puppeteer” (Student Film) – Director, SG
Just the look of it seems like an oscar event. A festival that is on point with its promises and is very organised. It’s been a pleasure and am honoured to be a monthly category winner in a prestigious event among so many quality films.
Anna Terenteva ★★★★★
“Taste of Night” (Music Video) – Assistant Director, RU
One of the best film festivals if not the best we participated till now. Level of presentation of submitted films is extraordinary. They have wonderful site promoting submitted films. Social media is definitely working well with a frequent updates. There are several levels that define choice and they are always in time. You never have to worry if your film was received or else every step is shown through Facebook. Thus it is possible see posters of all submitted films and see your competitors from the beginning. The site is definitely positive and informative. If there are any questions or doubts it is always possible to ask organizators and have your answer in several minutes. We did not yet had the possibilities to be present at live screenings but seeing such an organizational level in everyday life we are sure it should be top level. The festival is definitely worth the entrance fee. We will for sure submit again.

“Indigo Lake” (Feature Film) – Director/Writer, AU
It’s been a wonderful experience being part of the Oniros Film Awards. As a festival recognising excellence in filmmaking, it’s clear that their jury is experienced and perceptive, from the quality of entries they choose to celebrate independent film. Their administrative and communications skills are first class and reflect their care for filmmakers and the creative process of film. Looking for excellence in film festivals? You will find it at Oniros.
