About
WIFI is dedicated to promoting and celebrating film production, stories from the Midwest, and education at Washburn University, in the Topeka community, and in the state of Kansas. Its leadership holds to the mission statement of Washburn University and sees WIFI as an organization that will allow the department to foster and engage in relationships that will enhance students' lives and help them in their development as productive and responsible citizens.
At the core of WIFI's inception is the belief that cinema is one of the most democratic arts with its ability to reach large audiences on an accessible and inclusive level.
Each year, the WIFI Film Festival adopts a theme that it promotes through its work in the community and on campus. This year, the festival has adopted Washburn University's spring 2024 theme: Community & Belonging. Check below to see the events scheduled that honor our theme.
