Summer solstice is cool and all, but here at deadCenter Film, we consider the second weekend in June as the official start to summer! The 24th annual deadCenter Film Festival runs June 6-9 this year and draws in unique, groundbreaking films from around the world while showcasing the best from the state. deadCenter Film is for the film connoisseur, the occasional movie watcher and everyone in between.
This year, our exceptional programming team has come together to curate a program of independent films, ranging from feature length to short films, including narratives, documentaries, music videos and films by Oklahoma filmmakers and international filmmakers. Screening venues include Harkins Theater in Bricktown, First Americans Museum, Oklahoma City Museum of Art, Rodeo Cinema (Film Row location), The Yale, and Scissortail Park.
