We are so proud to welcome filmmaker Boots Riley back to the Free State Festival with his latest film, I Love Boosters! Boots's new comedy has been called “a wickedly clever skewering of the moral rot at the center of the fashion industry delivered with enough vision to make your eyes hurt" on RogerEbert.com. A groundbreaking artist in cinema, music and theatre, Boots is a Lawrence favorite and this will be a must see festival moment on June 24 - 6:30pm at Lawrence Arts Center!

Thank you to event sponsors:
