SUMMARY:2026 Refocus Film Festival
DESCRIPTION:DOZENS OF Films\, LIVE MUSIC AND ART\, 4 Days\, 1 pass \n\n\n\nMovie lovers rejoice! The Refocus Film Festival returns for another year with four days of film screenings\, each proceeded by live local music or multimedia art to form a kaleidoscopic impression of the many artistic disciplines that inform our big screen experience. \n \n\n\n\nDirector Andrew Haigh (All of Us Strangers) joins us in person for his new adaptation of Colm Tóibín’s short story of the same name on opening night. Haigh will also be presented with FilmScene’s 2026 Cinema Savant award for his body of work. \n\n\n\nRefocus Film Festival is much more than films. Go deeper into the the art through filmmaker and author dialogues\, curated alongside Iowa City Book Festival.
