The 13th Wild Rose Independent Film Festival opens May 12 and runs through May 19. More than 60 films are lined up for screenings, including a feature film starring magician Lance Burton and local director Brent Roske’s film “Courting Des Moines” about the Iowa caucus process. Screenings are at the Fleur Cinema & Cafe.

The breadth of films is impressive, from animation to documentaries. We’ve had fun just looking over the full list at wildrosefilmfest.com. Prices vary, from as little as $5 for some films to up to $75 for a multiday pass. You can see the options and buy tickets online here.
