Red Dirt Film Festival Returns For a Thirteenth Season!

April 17-19, 2026 will mark the thirteenth annual Red Dirt Film Festival, held in Stillwater, OK, offering up dozens of brand-new films and live music. Named one of FilmFreeway's Top 100 Film Festivals out of the nearly 12,000 worldwide, The Red Dirt International Film Festival is where film and music goes to have fun. We love movies and a good time! We are pleased to showcase films, music and screenplays* of many genres. During its 3-day run, we will kick-off our 13th season by featuring a very diverse-selection of genres as we equally love a good comedy, horror film, drama, or documentary.

Red Dirt was formed to bring more inspiration, culture, and entertainment to central Oklahoma, as well as to enliven people of all ages through the united power of film and music media. In addition to inspirations both visual and aural, we have parties each evening, workshops, panels, Q&As, live music, networking opportunities and unique special events specific to each new year!

Stillwater is the launchpad for a number of other amazing things such as the world-famous Eskimo Joe's restaurant, musicians such as The All-American Rejects, Garth Brooks, Red Dirt Music; Oklahoma State University, and actors such as James Marsden, and Gary Busey. It was the the subject of a Matt Damon theatrical movie, Stillwater (2021), and is the home of renowned actor Sean Patrick Flanery (Boondock Saints, The Adventures of Young Indiana Jones).

Admission to all films is open to the general public. For those wishing to purchase VIP badges for the weekend extras, such as the catered Welcoming Party, those can be purchased here for $30. A two-day pass for Saturday and Sunday only is $20, and a one day pass is only $10. T-Shirts and other clothing merchandise is also available at www.reddirtfilm.com.

We hope to see you at Red Dirt Film Festival during this year's fest; we look forward to having you as part of our festival to celebrate great film, scripts and music, and to have a lot of fun! Thank You.
