Wichita State University and the Tallgrass Film Association have teamed up to present two exciting events this fall for WSU students and the Wichita community.

Tallgrass' Cinema Alfresco returns with a free outdoor showing of the cult classic "Best in Show," Activities begin at 7:15 p.m., and the movie starts at dusk on Wednesday, Sept. 17, at WSU's Duerksen Amphitheater.

The movie is free and open to the public. There will be information booths, complimentary popcorn and activities starting at 7:15 p.m., including a dog dress-up competition. Everyone is encouraged to bring their blankets, lawn chairs, coolers and well behaved dogs. This event is weather permitting.

Parking on campus is open after 6 p.m., and the WSU Shuttle will extend its hours for the event until 10:30 p.m. Go to www.wichita.edu/parking for parking and shuttle information.

Wichita State will also host Tallgrass Movie Night on Thursday, Oct. 16. WSU students will be bused in from campus for an evening downtown during Tallgrass Film Festival Movie Spotlights. They'll get to choose from one of the two films being shown at the Orpheum Theatre and Scottish Rite Theatre.

Wichita State University President John Bardo says events such as these allow students to get involved in what the city has to offer and give the community a chance to experience after-hours life at Wichita State.
