The Arkansas Cinema Society’s Filmland is a curated annual celebration of cinema with a mission to nurture and inspire filmmakers in Arkansas by exposing Arkansans to filmmakers and their art.

Inspired by Ebertfest in Champaign, Illinois, Filmland hosts acclaimed filmmakers (producers, writers, actors, directors, production designers, cinematographers, etc.) at every screening. With no cross programming (single venue, one screening at a time) and only 5-10 screenings in the program each year, ACS is proud of Filmland's unique, intimate, quality-over-quantity program.

As with every year, each screening will be followed by an in-depth Q+A conversation with the filmmakers.

Filmland also includes Filmmaking Workshops! Join us all weekend for opportunities to learn about every aspect of filmmaking from industry professionals.

Of course! Click here to join our volunteer list. We'll be in touch as opportunities become available.

ACS screens a collection of filmmaker-accompanied, cutting-edge, relevant, curated films and television shows, as well as a selection of Arkansas films--either made by an Arkansan or made in Arkansas.
