Screenings That Spark Conversations and
Champion Film and Community
The Kansas City Film Forum is where cinema meets connection
We bring you timely documentaries as well as original works by Midwest filmmakers that allow appreciative audiences the chance to experience these films up close.
Every screening features a post-film discussion with the filmmaker or someone closely connected to the film, bringing the stories and messages on the screen to life in ways that inspire, inform, and connect.
Our Next Screening Event
Lifelines of Care
Date & Time TBA
Capturing the transformative journey of Community Health Workers (CHWs) in Kansas, this compelling documentary reveals their profound impact on individuals and families. Through intimate narratives from CHWs and their clients, it unveils the barriers faced by communities and the unwavering support provided by these unheralded, community-based, care coordinators to overcome them.
