The Ohio Independent Film Festival (OIFF) returns for a One Night Only event to be held at the Bop Stop, 2920 Detroit Ave., on Friday, Nov. 11. The theme will focus on women with all films either directed by women or passing the "Bechdel Test" (in which two women must talk to each other about something other than men). The OIFF is completely programmed with films submitted directly by filmmakers.

A pre-event mixer on Nov. 10 will feature entertainment by Nate Jones. One Night Only will be hosted by Cleveland filmmaker Robert Banks and is presented by Independent Pictures.

Tickets for the Nov. 11 One Night Only event are $20. Admission to the Thursday, Nov. 10 mixer is free with donations accepted at the door. Click here to purchase tickets.

Highlights of this year's line-up include several shorts such as “Bombing” (13 min., Gloria Mercer - A comedian adjusts to taking care of her estranged daughter) and two features including "Search Engines" (1 hr 38 min.,  Russell Brown - Sanity and relationships are put to the test when mysterious circumstances force a family to survive the annual American Thanksgiving holiday without their cell phones).

Independent Pictures has been producing the Ohio Independent Film Festival since 1993. Formed by working filmmakers, the mission is to support the independent filmmaker through quality screening and exhibition events for audiences that might not otherwise have the opportunity to see the films.
