Kansas International Film Festival
The Kansas International Film Festival (KIFF) is a non-profit Kansas-based organization that promotes independent and vintage cinema through film expos. The festival is held every fall.

In 2001, KIFF received a 501(c)(3) designation under the corporation name of Photoplay, Inc. Photoplay's board of directors consists of filmmakers, file distributors, educators, theatre owners, and film historians. The Fine Arts Theatre Group provides the venues for KIFF viewing.

KIFF serves the movie idealist by focusing on documentary, narrative, and animated independent films. The festival closes with the presentation of the following awards: Jury Award for Best Narrative, Jury Award for Best Documentary, Audience Award for Best Narrative, Audience Award for Best Documentary, and the Independent Vision Award. The winners are selected by panels of local filmmakers, film educators, and critics. KIFF attracts local, regional, and national works, along with visiting actors, actress, and filmmakers. The festival also educates the public about cultural and economic issues affecting independent and vintage cinema.

In 2010, MovieMaker magazine named KIFF as "one of the top 25 film festivals worth their entry fee."
