Granfalloon

Granfalloon 2026

IU Cinema is proud to be a partner for Granfalloon 2026, which will include a film series reflecting on the themes of loneliness, family, free speech, and comedy found in Kurt Vonnegut's novel Slapstick.

Presented by the IU Arts and Humanities Council and inspired by legendary Hoosier author Kurt Vonnegut Jr., the Granfalloon brings together musicians, artists, thinkers, and good people from all walks of life for a celebration of art, ideas, and community.

The festival kicks off the Bloomington summer arts season and highlights the creative spirit of our region by tapping into the enduring ethos of Vonnegut’s life and work: promoting civic engagement, encouraging independent thought, and championing art and creativity as essential to the spiritual life of individuals and the health of our democracy.

Indie to Indy Screenings: All films in this series will screen simultaneously at IU Cinema and Indianapolis' Kan-Kan Cinema and include a live audience-to-audience component before start time.

Additional film screenings will be offered by Bloomington Parks & Recreation and Cicada Cinema. For more information on the festival and its various events, please visit its website.
