Reel Liberty Film Festival

Join the Liberty Arts Commission as they go on a cinematic trek, exploring humanity’s fascination with extraterrestrial life at the second annual Reel Liberty Film Festival, Jan. 23-24, 2026. From classic 1950s flying saucers to the alien encounters of modern blockbusters, this year’s Reel Liberty Film Festival showcases films that imagine what lies beyond our world. We will revisit iconic moments, have a few laughs and witness how Hollywood’s portrayal of beings not of this world have evolved, reflecting our fears and curiosity about the unknown. Make sure to stick around for an out-of-this-world after party at Johnnie’s Jazz Bar & Grille after the films on Saturday night.
