What is WAMPA?
The Wichita Association for the Motion Picture Arts (WAMPA) is a 501 (c) 3 cinematic arts organization. Our mission is to foster community appreciation, education and entertainment through an annual film festival, Cinema Al Fresco Series, Film Education classes and Special Screenings throughout the year, while showcasing the city’s venues, cultural attractions and artistic communities.
Affiliating with like-minded film, artistic and community organizations, WAMPA provides support and assistance in all areas of motion picture production, to the local and regional filmmaking communities in order to spark a dialogue among filmmakers and enhance artistic expression in Wichita, Kansas and the Heartland.
