And last, but certainly not least, the Tallgrass Film Festival is celebrating its 22nd year!
Oh, and it starts TOMORROW!
What is the Tallgrass Film Festival?
β
In 2003, Timothy Gruver (Wichita-raised) started the Tallgrass Film Festival in what has become the indisputable, largest, independent film festival in Kansas and an annual tradition in Wichita.
It is a multi-day platform for world-class filmmakers and programming to show off their hard work. The Tallgrass Film Festival is operated by the Tallgrass Film Association, a non-profit organization in Wichita.
There will be a variety of films from Narratives to Shorts to Documentaries at locations across Wichita from the Emily Bonavia Tallgrass Film Center to The Orpheum to The Exploration Kemper Theatre.
β
Filmmakers can be awarded juried awards and non-juried awards such as:
Gordon Parks Award for Black Excellence in Filmmaking: $5,000, $15,000 value Panavision Camera Rental, and an award (Presented by Cargill).
Stubbornly Independent Feature
Woman Filmmaker Spotlight
Best Narrative
Best Documentary
and many, many more!
The festival runs from tomorrow (10/24) through Sunday (10/27).
