Award Winners
The votes are in and counted. We have the winners!
The Kansas International Film Festival is proud to announce the winners of our Audience Award. All competition films are voted on by our audiences. Films are divided between Narrative and Documentary and compete in their respective categories. After seeing a film, audience members are given the opportunity to cast their vote on a four-point rating system to gague how much they liked the film. After the festival is over, a board representative tallies the ballots and scores each film. The winning film in each category will receive a week-long run at the Glenwood Arts Theatre in Overland Park, KS.
The top five vote-getters in each category were:
| Documentary | Narrative |
|---|---|
| 1. The Edge of Eden: Living with Grizzlies - WINNER! | 1. Midnight Clear - WINNER! |
| 2. From the 50 Yard Line | 2. The Lather Effect |
| 3. The Rich Have Their Own Photographers | 3. Speed Dating |
| 4. Facing Sudan | 4. Racing Daylight |
| 5. Begging Naked | 5. Her Best Move |
Congratulations to directors Jeff Turner (The Edge of Eden: Living with Grizzlies) and Dallas Jenkins (Midnight Clear). Screenings for these films will be announced as soon as they are arranged. Keep posted to kansasfilm.com for more details!
