Without This World

This panel is where we partner with the Braunschweig International Film Festival to share culture through film. KIFF screens German film, Out of This World and live-interviews German filmmakers and BIFF faculty. We elevate the Kansas International Film Festival to a global stage with Braunschweig at KIFF, the first step in our sister festival exchange as KIFF faculty will travel to Germany in November where we will represent local culture by screening beloved film, Big Sonia.

Shaping Consciousness: Media & The Military October 17, 7:15 | $10

This panel centers on authorship of military images, where we’ve been and how far we still need to go in representing military life in entertainment.

Showing clips from some of our favorite military movies over the generations, we will be joined by active duty Lt. colonel, Terry Kelley who works in military media; civilian photographer Brooke Brown of Hope22, a military photography exhibit; and we will honor two-tour Vietnam combat cameraman, Marty Blackmore who served the local TV industry for 25 years at WDAF.

It is important at KIFF to give voice to diverse demographics. We want to hear what our active military, veterans, and supporters have to say about on- film representation, shaping images, and evolving the popular perspective. Media and the Military seeks to bring us together to inspect this relationship with a fresh, human, and service-centric approach.

This is one of the most essential areas of our communal lives and we should be having fun, learning how to best represent our nation’s champions.

Dessert Included: The Power of Mentorship | October 15, 7:15 | $10

Join us over dessert as we discuss the sweetness of diversity. With Kevin Willmott (BlacKKKlansman) &, Mel Jones, associate producer, (Dear White People), as we screen three episodes of her directorial debut web series, Leimert Park, and clips from Kevin’s previous works to examine how a variety of voices in storytelling enriches the global film economy and how mentorship is the key to success.
