2012 Kansas International Film Festival Promotional Poster

Welcome to the home of the Kansas International Film Festival!

Get ready for the 2013 Festival! We're now taking submissions!

The Kansas International Film Festival (KIFF) stands alone as a movie purist's delight, focusing on documentary, narrative, and animated independent films. Founded in 2001 as a non-profit organization, KIFF attracts local, regional, and national work, recognizing visiting filmmakers and screen personalities, and increasing public awareness of independent and classic cinema as a cultural, economic, and educational asset.

Named one of the top 25 festivals worth their entry fee by Movie Maker Magazine, KIFF culminates in the presentation of several awards, including an Audience Award in each category based on audience votes.

Serious Movie Buff? You’ll Love the KIFF EXTRA!

Visit the Glenwood Arts Theatre the 3rd Thurday of every month at 7:30 p.m. for a special screening promoting independent films in KC!
