About the festival

The Free State Festival brings artists and audiences together through the shared experiences of film, art, music and ideas. Free State Festival 2020 will bring independent films, visual art installations, comedy and live music to vibrant downtown Lawrence.

We celebrate the free spirit of the state Kansas with films that challenge, inspire, and entertain. The Free State Festival values diversity and seeks to amplify voices of underrepresented filmmakers. Please look at our past film selections to decide if we are a good fit for your film. We strongly prefer films that have not previously screened in Lawrence, Kansas.
