Milwaukee Film Moves Popular Festival to Spring
The 13th annual Milwaukee Film Festival, presented by Associated Bank, will be held this spring, May 6 through 20—a change from its usual October dates. Like the 2020 event, this year’s Milwaukee Film Festival will largely take place in a virtual format. Passes for access to all virtual screenings are on sale now. Milwaukee Film plans to use the same virtual platform, CineSend, for the spring Festival.
Cost: $160 for the 2021 Festival Pass; $8 for individual film passes; discounts for members. For more information and to purchase tickets, visit MKEFilm.org/festival.
Each year, the Milwaukee Film Festival showcases films from modern American independent cinema; documentaries; profiles of iconic artists; fiction and documentary films by emerging and established Black storytellers; foreign films; films exploring LGBTQ+ voices; shorts; new works by Milwaukee-area filmmakers; kids’ movies and more. Virtual events include nightly talk-show style conversations with filmmakers and in-depth panel discussions.
According to a statement on Milwaukee Film’s website, “In recent years, Milwaukee Film has been contemplating moving our Festival to spring, which offers a chance to share the best of the full film-festival season and, whenever we can fest in person again, better weather for standing in line.”
Cost: $160 for the 2021 Festival Pass; $8 for individual film passes; discounts for members. For more information and to purchase tickets, visit MKEFilm.org/festival.
