Check out the Little Rock Film Festival in Bill Clinton’s hometown

Coming this June to Little Rock – the biggest thing to hit the city since Bill Clinton. He’s going to be there too.

The Little Rock Film Festival is an annual film and cultural event held each Spring in Downtown Little Rock, Arkansas. Back for its fourth year, the festival showcases the best narrative, documentary, and short films from around the world, and is set to take place from June 2nd-6th. Set in the historic River Market District, home to theWilliam Jefferson Clinton (Bill to you and me – more on him later) Presidential Library, the festival also hosts parties, panels, workshops, and youth programs.  There are awards for the top films in each film category, and the LRFF also devotes programs and prizes specifically for Southern and Arkansas films. Every film in competition at the LRFF makes its Arkansas premiere there, with many also being regional, national or world premieres as well.

Each day ends with after-parties at the city’s hottest venues, including the annual festival gala in the Clinton Presidential Library, and get this – filmmakers presenting at the festival drink for free at every party!

After three years, the Little Rock Film Festival has hosted more than 250 films from three dozen countries, held panels with industry leaders, and hosted notable actors, directors, and producers from around the globe. Last year more than 20,000 people attended, and this year the organizers are expecting the festival to be even larger.

If this doesn’t already sound like the most enticing event in the going on in Little Rock next month, then perhaps former President Clinton can persuade you:
