The 2021 deadCenter Film Festival is a hybrid of both virtual and in-person events and screenings, allowing the festival to reach a larger audience.
The festival also includes a Pride Pass for access to LGBTQ programming as well as the inaugural Best Indigenous Short Film Award, in collaboration with the Cherokee Nation Film Office. Miranda Patton, director of operations and festival at deadCenter, said this is in an effort to make the festival more inclusive.
“It s important to us… that that reflects in deadCenter because that s who deadCenter is. It s a platform for all voices, not just a portion,” Patton said.

The Oklahoma City Zoo and Botanical Gardens has a long list of things it is doing to help conserve the monarch population and foster gardens that appeal to these butterflies and other pollinators. For starters, the gardens are beautiful on their own, but walking through them when the butterflies are migrating through Oklahoma between Mexico and Canada is another treat.
The zoo also is part of the Oklahoma Monarch and Pollinator Collaborative (online at okiesformonarchs.org), which is a statewide initiative on this effort, and it offers other monarch education programming.
