BENTONVILLE, Ark. — Filmmakers from all over the world are in Bentonville for the 2024 Bentonville Film Festival, held Tuesday, June 11 through Sunday, June 16.
The opening film, Out of My Mind, presented by Disney, will kick things off at 7:30 pm on Tuesday at the Momentary, to be followed by more than 75 films and 50 shorts throughout the festival.
“It's a good opportunity to not only see films that have played all over the world at all these festivals but [also] if you're interested in the ‘behind the scenes’ of what it takes to make a film,” said Wendy Guerrero, president of the Bentonville Film Festival and Foundation.
Premieres of films run Tuesday through Sunday at different venues including the Momentary, Skylight Cinema, and Thaden School. This year’s lineup also includes panels and events taking an inside look at the entertainment industry.
