film events in Ohio. The 2009 OIFF, In May 0f 2009 in Cleveland, Ohio,

will mark our 22nd festival in 15 years. Like many festivals, the

OIFF is a judged and internationally recognized line-up of first-class

independent films from around the world.

video submissions *without* theatrical distribution and the festival

and video entrant benefits from personal feedback from festival

programmers on his or her film.

So submit your films and videos! Deadlines to submit films and videos
