WIFI is dedicated to promoting and celebrating film production, stories from the Midwest, and education in film. The WIFI Film Festival exists as a standalone entity within the Topeka community to champion filmmakers. Yet, because some of the creative minds who thought up the vision for the festival work at Washburn University, the film festival adopts Washburn's WUmester theme each year as a focal point for its educational workshops, panels, and featured directors. Although the theme changes annually, the festival never loses its focus on film.
For a complete schedule of events, please visit the Film Fest page. Details on the featured panel and workshops can be found on the Education page.
Note: We will be live and in person at the Rita Blitt Gallery, Topeka & Shawnee County Public Library, and ARTS Connect in Topeka, Kansas. Workshops will be a hybrid format simulcast on Facebook Live.
