After an 11-year run as a retrospective film festival, the 2009 Old Dominion University - City of Norfolk (ONFilm) Festival went competitive, and screened more than 30 top independent films from around the world. The ONFilm Festival, which ran from March 25-28, featured independently produced features, documentaries, shorts and short-shorts on the ODU campus and in various Norfolk venues.

Dreyfuss officially opened the festival and started festival-goers talking with "A Conversation with Richard Dreyfuss," hosted by Cathy Lewis of WHRV-FM's "HearSay."
