Kansas City Women in Film & Television (KCWIFT) is pleased to announce the 6th annual KCWIFT and Kansas City FilmFest Short Screenplay Contest. KCWIFT has partnered with Kansas City FilmFest, presented by the Kansas City Filmmakers Jubilee, to host this annual short screenwriting competition. The goals are to support female screenwriters, as well as to encourage all writers to create strong female protagonists. The contest winners will be eligible to receive prizes that support these goals.

IFCKC’s mission is to promote and nurture creative and artistic expression through film and media production. Have a project you need help with? Have a skill you want to want to learn or to teach?
The 48 Hour Film Project is a wild and sleepless weekend in which you and a team make a movie – write, shoot, and edit – in just 48 hours. On Friday night, teams draw a genre from a hat. They are then given a character, prop and line to include in their films. On Sunday night, in a wild dash to the drop off event, the film is turned in – and teams celebrate. The film is then screened at a local theater in front of an audience of filmmakers, friends and families.
Capture joins community members with professional film editors and musicians to create short films. Capture 2016 took place in September with Kansas City and Chattanooga.
The Kansas City Film Office is part of Visit KC, Kansas City’s convention and tourism bureau. All positions are hired through Visit KC with the oversight of KC Film Office leadership.
