The Flyway Film Festival seeks films that open our eyes to new ways of seeing the world:

Films by directors with varied backgrounds and surprising viewpoints; films with strong and engaging storylines;

films that present us with enlightening, hopeful perceptions of our fellow human beings. 

The festival’s name comes from its location on the Mississippi River Flyway,

the longest bird migration corridor in the Western Hemisphere.

That's why it's "flyway," see, not "fly away." A flyway is an actual thing.

The festival venues are on the shores of Lake Pepin, a part of the Mississippi River that widens to a 40-square-mile “lake”

sixty miles downstream from the Twin Cities. The area is known for its scenic river bluffs as well as for its vibrant arts scene,

gourmet dining, and sailing. The Great River Road, which runs along the Wisconsin side of Lake Pepin,

was named the “Prettiest Drive in America” by the Huffington Post.
