Founded in 2008, Milwaukee Film is a community-powered arts nonprofit organization in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, dedicated to creating world-class cinematic experiences that entertain, educate, and engage curious audiences. 365 days a year, Milwaukee Film maintains and operates two historic arthouse cinemas, programming the best in cinema across five screens.
Through the Milwaukee Film Festival, Dialogues Documentary Festival, and our year-round programming, last year we attracted visitors from 49 states and the District of Columbia. During the two-week Milwaukee Film Festival alone, visitors from 140 Wisconsin zip codes came to Milwaukee to experience cinema in our theaters.
Every year Milwaukee Film recognizes someone who has made a major impact toward our mission with the Abele Catalyst Award. Learn more about the award here.
