Flyway Film Festival
Established legitimate festival
The Flyway Film Festival was an annual independent film festival founded in 2008 in Pepin, Wisconsin, with screenings later expanding to nearby communities along Lake Pepin. It was notable for bringing independent cinema, filmmakers, and music to a small Mississippi River town, and for programming both narrative and documentary work as well as occasional genre-focused events such as zombie films.[2][3][4]
