We can think of no better way to sum this up than with a quote from our very own Artistic & Executive Director, Jonathan Jackson:

“To be able to pay that support forward, and showcase high-quality work from local filmmakers is a part of our mission that we’re very proud of.”

That's exactly why Cream City Cinema, presented by Independent and North American Camera, exists. Cream City Cinema presents five feature-length films, as well as a showcase of this city's short-film talents in The Milwaukee Show. And if you were there last year, you know that it's one of the hottest tickets at the Film Festival. 

Cream City Cinema also features a yearlong Filmmaker-In-Residence prize awarded to the jury winner. The residency includes a cash award of $2,500, plus production equipment and services valued at more than $20,000.
