MILWAUKEE FILM FESTIVAL: FILMS // TICKETS + PASSES
Milwaukee Film's Cultures and Communities initiative seeks to engage our entire community in our mission and programs, strengthening the impact of established programs such as Black Lens, Cine Sin Fronteras, and GenreQueer.
Through the work of Black storytellers, the Black Lens program explores topics rooted in the Black community and relevant to all.
Cine Sin Fronteras (Cinema Without Borders) screens films that explore and unpack issues surrounding identity, culture, family, history, and modernity within the Latinx diaspora.
Through filmmaking that explores LGBTQ+ voices and experiences, GenreQueer celebrates the past, present, and future of cinema's rich queer tradition.
We can't gather in person for this year's Milwaukee Film Festival, but we've adapted. Take a look at the Festival films featured in our three Cultures and Communities programs.
With a singular focus on spotlighting fiction and documentary films by emerging and established Black storytellers, the Black Lens program explores stories and topics rooted in the Black community and relevant to all in order to inspire conversation, celebration, and community.
