Marlo Angell, festival director and LAC curator of film and media, described the festival in a news release Thursday as a “signature community event” that “celebrates the free spirit of Kansas.”
Independent films, live music, comedy and art experiences — many exploring social justice themes and culture — will be on display at several venues across Lawrence.
Musician Makaya McCraven; actor, writer and comedian Jana Schmieding, Mniconjou and Sicangu Lakota; and powwow artist Joe Rainey, member of the Red Lake Nation of Ojibwe people, are this year’s featured headliners.
