Starting in 1997 with a showing of 35 independent films, and growing to this year's showing of 130 short and feature films at AMC Mainstreet, the Kansas City Film Fest celebrated its 15th year.
I saw 3 feature films and short:
Change For A Dollar - a homeless man affects multiple people's lives with just one dollar, proving that it doesn't take much to be the change in someone's life
The Trip - two good friends embark on a tour of the Lake District amd the Yorkshire Doles of Northern England, eating, chatting, and driving each other crazy (starring Steve Coogan and Rob Brydon)
Weightless: A Recording Session With Jakob Bro - Danish jazz guitarist Jakob Bro has two days to create an album with so,of the greatest living jazz legends at the famous Avatar Studios in New York, offers a rare view into the vibrant and intensive process (joined by Lee Konitz on sax, Bill Frisell on guitar, and Ken Steeet on bass, with an appearance by Joe Lovano)
The First Grader - the true story of an 84 year old Kenyan villager and ex-Mau Mau freedom fighter who fights for his right to go to school for the first time and get the education he could never afford
