FILI Creative has released the official trailer for 4 Days in June, a feature-length documentary that explores the people, stories, and shared experiences behind one of Kansas’ most beloved arts festivals.
According to Fili, the newly released two-minute trailer offers audiences a first look at the documentary, which was filmed over five years and captures the sights, sounds, and spirit of the Smoky Hill River Festival. Through interviews, behind-the-scenes access, and Festival moments, the film examines how art creates opportunities for connection and community.
The film’s tagline, “Finding common ground is a walk in the park,” reflects its central theme. Each year tens of thousands gather in Oakdale Park to experience music, food, performances, and visual arts. 4 Days in June explores what happens when people come together around a shared experience.
In 2026, the Smoky Hill River Festival celebrated its 50th year.
Produced by FILI Creative in partnership with Salina Arts & Humanities and the Smoky Hill River Festival, 4 Days in June takes audiences beyond the Festival grounds to meet the organizers, volunteers, artists, performers, and attendees who make the event possible. What begins as a look at the logistics and planning behind a major community event ultimately becomes a story about belonging, creativity, and the power of gathering together.
The official trailer is now available online. Audiences can watch the trailer, explore behind-the-scenes content, and find updates about the film by visiting www.4DaysinJune.com or following 4 Days in June on social media.
4 Days in June will premiere July 9 at the Stiefel Theatre in Salina. The premiere is a ticketed event for invited guests. Following the premiere, the film will have public showings at the Salina Art Center Cinema July 10–15.
