What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

Tallgrass distinguishes itself from many regional film festivals by operating as a year-round institution rather than a single annual event, maintaining its own dedicated Film Center with regular programming, a venue rental option, and ongoing community initiatives that run independently of festival week

02

The mystery stays covered

Its Emerging Filmmaker Program gives new directors a structured pathway into the festival's ecosystem, while Pridegrass specifically centers LGBTQ film within the association's broader programming, reflecting a deliberate curatorial focus beyond a general-interest festival lineup

03

The city starts moving

The Take 36 program adds a rapid-filmmaking element distinct from the traditional submit-and-screen festival model most independent film festivals rely on
