That One Film Festival - September 11th and 12th
This September 11th and 12th mark the return of That One Film Festival, Muncie’s own biennial experimental film festival. The two-day event will be a free live-streaming event. This event is rated PG-13 for strong language and may not be suitable for children. The event is produced by the Muncie Arts and Culture Council in partnership with an immersive learning course at the Ball State University School of Art.
That One Film Festival celebrates the work of moving image artists from around the globe. The festival specializes in experimental, no/low budget, and avant-garde film and video art; this year, more than 275 films were submitted to That One for consideration. Of those submissions, thirty-six individual films have been selected for this year’s program, in addition to screenings of work by the two jurors, Karissa Hahn and Laura Parnes, and a performance by filmmaker Michael Morris.
Friday, September 11th
Live - Stream
Though we had hoped to hold an in-person opening night screening, we have transitioned all content to the online livestream in order to make the event as safe and risk-free as possible. We hope you will host your own safe viewing parties with your household and will participate in the livestream! More details on how to participate are coming soon.
The program begins at 5:45 PM. The night kicks off with a selection of work by Karissa Hahn, PlySpace Virtual Resident, and co-juror at this year’s festival, followed by two hour-long programs. The screenings will end at 9:15 PM with a performance by filmmaker Michael Morris. The event will conclude at 10:00 pm.

Each program will be followed by a short intermission, and there will be a scheduled dinner break from 5:30 PM – 7:30 PM.
