Walton Arts Center officials recently announced a partnership with Fayetteville Film Festival to bring four evenings of films to Baum Walker Hall in 2023 as part of a new film series.
The four themed events, created to highlight diversity in cinema, will kick off with an evening of indie films from Central and South America in January, followed by an Arkansas filmmakers showcase in March, an Artosphere-themed indie film night in May, and a Pride showcase in June.
Titles and dates for each event are listed below.
The films were selected by Fayetteville Film Fest, and will include a variety of formats including documentary, short, animated, and narrative films. Each evening will be screened in two blocks with a brief intermission, officials said, creating “a two-hour mini film festival” for each event.
Tickets to the film showcase events are $15 (plus fees), and are on sale now at waltonartscenter.org.
