Details

deadCENTER Film Festival...is Oklahoma's largest film festival and one of the "Top 20 Coolest Film Festivals in the World" and "Top 50 Festivals Worth the Entry Fee" according to MovieMaker Magazine. In its 14th year in 2014, deadCenter Film Festival featured 115 different films over 4 days, and had over 25,000 attendees.

And what's up with the name you ask? "deadCENTER" refers to the geographic location of the festival - in OKC - the "dead center" of the United States.

Why should you attend? It's a great chance to see exciting new short films, insightful documentaries, hilarious comedies, scary monster movies, and the best independent films from around the world and all over Oklahoma. Plus, you might just see a movie star or two.

Its mission is to promote, encourage and celebrate the independent film arts. deadCENTER accomplishes this mission with a renowned festival each June, a year round education program and screenings throughout the year in partnerships with museums and various arts organizations.

And, because the festival is run by working filmmakers, deadCENTER is designed to cater to the needs and wants of all types of filmmakers, from first time student short directors to established veterans like Spike Jonze, who opened our festival in 2010, or Nick Cassavetes, who served as judge for our 2011 festival.
