Here's the 2023 Milwaukee Film Festival's Cream City Cinema lineup
This year's lineup includes an existential black-and-white Milwaukee-set rom-com, a Wisconsin true crime saga and a 19th century fur trapper battling an onslaught of ferocious beavers. As one might expect.
The Milwaukee Film Festival is just over a month away, running April 20 through May 4. And to make the wait simultaneously easier and harder, the fest has whetted our cinematic appetites by giving us some early tastes from their 2023 menu – including their biggest appetizer yet, today revealing the selections from their Cream City Cinema category.
The program annually assembles some of the best feature films, shorts and more created by local filmmakers – this year including an existential black-and-white Milwaukee-set rom-com, a Wisconsin true crime saga, a bevy of Brew City music videos and student projects, and a 19th century fur trapper battling an onslaught of ferocious beavers. As one might expect.
"Milwaukee Film was founded with a commitment to Milwaukee’s filmmaking talent, and each year, our Cream City Cinema lineup pays back on that commitment with a lineup of films that rivals any city’s local program,” said Milwaukee Film artistic director Cara Ogburn, in a release. “This year’s lineup includes films that made their premieres at such festivals at Sundance, Fantastic Fest and SXSW, filmmakers and projects that have been supported by our array of artist services and youth education programs, and brand-new-to-us filmmakers bursting onto the scene."
Here are the eight feature-length Cream City Cinema selections coming to the Milwaukee Film Festival this spring, complete with synopses courtesy of Milwaukee Film. Read More…
