Presented by Arvest Bank, the 2022 Fort Smith International Film Festival will be August 26 & 27 at TempeLive. Built in 1929, the masonic temple houses several rooms with original art deco fixtures and Egyptian themed murals, which will serve as the backdrop for screening rooms and filmmaker workshops. Harkening back to the venue’s past as a theater, TempleLive will provide an all-in-one movie going experience for festival goers and filmmakers.
The theme for the second year will be “Borderlands.” Located in an original wild west border town, the 2022 Fort Smith International Film Festival, celebrates Borderlands, where the stories of our lives exist. Our shared humanity is experienced at the borders between countries, nations, states, cities, neighborhoods, languages, races, genders, cultures, social economic classes, and ages. Borderlands are where innovation happens, realities are challenged, novel concepts and fresh identities are born and questioned. Film acts as a threshold between actuality and fantasy capturing the moment a border is established, defended, or overcome. For filmmakers, art is our manifest destiny, and the 2nd Annual Fort Smith International Film Festival, will be a theatrical gateway to creativity’s wild west, where all perspectives and points of view are welcomed.
