No Admission.

The Kansas City Underground film festival prides itself on being an open and financially accessible event.

Donations are appreciated but never required.

No Industry.

The Kansas City Underground Film Festival exists only to bring unique, underappreciated films to the people who want to see them.

If you’re looking for a place to sell your film or become a star, we may not be the festival for you.

If you’re looking for a welcoming and passionate place to screen your film, you’re in the right place. We love movies and love sharing them with our community.

No Limits.

Action, sci-fi, horror, drama, comedy, romance, thriller, low-budget, no-budget. It makes no difference to us.

The Kansas City Underground Film Festival welcomes all genres, budgets, and experiences. Does your film not fit in at other festivals? WE WANT TO SEE IT!
