Third Thursday

Tallgrass Third Thursday

Eight months of the year we bring you a special showing (usually the Wichita premiere) of an independent film that would otherwise not have a theatrical screening in the city.

Tickets are $10 general admission and $8 for students and seniors, unless otherwise noted. Very often filmmakers are in attendance for the screening or it is followed by a panel discussion.

Upcoming screenings

Screenings are chosen based on timeliness, current events and availability and as such the specific films will be announced as they are scheduled.

What are you complaining about? Cell phones and bosses? Bad drivers and crummy weather? Director Ada Bligaard Søby’s docu-musical tells the story of two Finnish artists traveling the world, setting gripes to music. They aim not to pour salt in the wounds of the world’s grumps, but to let everyone vent dissatisfaction in a liberating chorus. Søby takes us from the artists’ home in Finland to Chicago and Signapore where community choruses confront issues as serious as free speech and as mundane as loud neighbors, with compelling frankness and humor.
