The old Metcalf South Shopping Center seems like a ghost town most of
the time. But every October, the Overland Park mall becomes a
destination for hard-core movie lovers. Since 2001, the annual Kansas
International Film Festival (formerly known as "Halfway to Hollywood")
has made its annual lineups a smartly curated feast, with silent movies
(played to live music), newly minted prints of Stanley Kubrick's
A Clockwork Orange,
works by avant-garde legends Stan Brakhage and Barbara Hammer and Guy
Maddin, and even a tribute to stop-motion-animation pioneer Ray
Harryhausen.
