The final? film festival “F.O.A.” is in for 2025 has just kicked off. The Lift-Off Sessions 2025 Volume 12 online festival runs from 15th December – 28th December. “F.O.A.” is in the Trendsetter Shorts section with 31 other films. If you want to watch them all it’s a $12 ticket to rent the collection. They firmly believe that indie films shouldn’t be given away for free.

You can watch now on iOS, Android, Apple TV, Roku, Chromecast and your computer. If you are a massive movie buff there are also New Voices, Trailblazers Shorts, Student Shorts, and Features sections that you can get tickets too and binge watch.

If you check out the trendsetter shorts section, you can vote for “F.O.A.” with the code you’ll get in the email with your ticket information. You’ll be asked to vote for your four favourites so you may want to watch some of the others and make an informed decision. If I get enough votes I’ll move onto the next stage, which would be an exciting start to 2026.
