Description

The 2023 Fort Smith International Film Festival returns August 25 & 26, 2023, to Temple Live in downtown Fort Smith, Arkansas!

[re]Focused is the theme of the festival, celebrating a storytelling renaissance by moviemakers who suffered production obstacles posed by the global pandemic. Artists who persevered are emerging with a new focus. People and groups who were on the margins or left out of narratives are entering the picture with a sharpness that reveals the details of life at a higher resolution.
