If you just spent the last year planning a 15-day-long film festival featuring more than 200 films (not to mention all the panel discussions, conversations, educational activities, after-parties, special guests, and more), how would you celebrate?

With a party, of course!

Needless to say, we’re thrilled to announce that tickets to this year’s official Milwaukee Film Festival Opening Night Party are on sale now.

On Thursday, September 27, from 8:30pm – 1am, we’ll take over Discovery World at Pier Wisconsin and pack the place with more music, dancing, and interactive exhibits than you can shake a 35mm film canister at.

How much bang will you get for your buck? So far, we’ve booked:

* Milwaukee Soul Legend, Harvey Scales, backed by the Kings Go Forth rhythm section

* a live interactive video DJ set by DJ Madhatter from 88NINE RadioMilwaukee

* music throughout the night from one of WMSE 91.7FM’s fantastic DJs

* a traditional Chinese Lion Dance from the ShaoLin Center

* live breaking from the Gravity Benders Breakdance Crew

* a Cinema Hooligante-themed Giant Spider photobooth

* sihouette dancers from Danceworks

* a beauty bar by Neroli

* two FREE drinks courtesy of Bacardi and Grolsch

* delicious hors d’oeuvres compliments of Bartolotta Catering and Events at Pier Wisconsin

* out of this world interactive displays from the geniuses at Stamm Technologies

* and much, much more!
