OUR PROGRAMS


EDUCATION

Initiated in 2011, deadCenter’s year-round education program aims to connect students from across the state to a love of films and filmmaking and the state’s budding film industry as a place where they can make a career. Whether it's the Statewide Education Tour or deadCenter University, deadCenter is thrilled at the opportunity to inspire the future storytellers of Oklahoma.

FILM FESTIVAL

deadCenter is Oklahoma's largest film festival and welcomes 20,000-plus film enthusiasts and industry professionals every June. OSCAR®-qualifying in two short film categories, the festival draws in unique, groundbreaking films from around the world while showcasing the best from the state. Founded by filmmakers, deadCenter prides itself on making the filmmaker experience its top priority and creating community at the festival enjoyed by filmmakers and attendees alike.

CONTINUUM

After deciding four days of films were not enough, deadCenter launched the our year-round Continuum Programming Series with a focus on expanding its cultural footprint. In the 2021-2022 Continuum programming deadCenter has hosted nearly a dozen free screenings to diverse audiences throughout the Oklahoma City area with new community partners including the First Americans Museum, OKC Pride Alliance, and the Young Latinos Professional Group. In this new role, deadCenter strives to encourage community conversations and share the love of film with new audiences.
