In 2014, Milwaukee Film recognized the critical need to elevate Black filmmakers, seeing the power of cinema to bridge racial and cultural divides. Through our Black Lens program, Milwaukee Film created a month-long series in 2019 dedicating our February programming to films and events that inspire conversation, celebration, and community around Black History Month.
Celebrate and honor Black experiences and voices with us. All films will screen at the Oriental Theatre with select FREE screenings thanks to our generous sponsors.
Get to know the story behind the films, learn more about the issues, or just let loose and have fun - there's something for everyone at these FREE events!
For all of February, celebrate and honor Black History Month with us by purchasing a ticket, or joining us for one of our FREE events.
Join us in person for one (or all) of our film screenings at the historic Oriental Theatre!
