The Tallgrass Film Festival in Wichita has been called one of the best “under-the-radar film festivals in America” and an “undiscovered gem” by national media. Filmmakers from around the world participate.

This year’s festival is in downtown Wichita, October 5 – 8, 2023. This “stubbornly independent” film festival showcases films that you might not otherwise see in theaters. Featuring over a hundred films from numerous countries over four days in venues around Wichita, the Tallgrass Film Festival includes appearances by guest filmmakers, free educational events, parties, awards, and more.

The festival range from music docs and environmental and social justice films to comedy and sci-fi and late night films. There is something for everyone. They are a Top 50 Film Festival Worth the Entry Fee and a Top 25 Coolest Film Festival in the World in 2023. – how cool is that!!

They are celebrating their 21st year this year, so they are turning legal! To celebrate turning 21 they are going to put on some extra fun parties this year. More info is coming soon! Newport Grill won their “best drink” contest at a recent fundraiser so they will provide the featured cocktail at all events. Tallpass holders get access to that!
