Milwaukee Film’s Reel Talks program brings visiting and local filmmakers to high school, college, and after-school learning spaces to inspire young people by talking informally about their work. We now offer Reel Talks in a hybrid format, allowing filmmakers to connect with students in-person and virtually.
Our Reel Talks roster may include local filmmakers who live and work in our community, as well as filmmakers from around the nation and the globe, whose works we will screen/have screened in our most current festivals (Cultures & Communities Festival, Milwaukee Film Festival).
Each Reel Talk session (45-60mins) usually involves screening of clips from the film and an informal, facilitated discussion of the film’s content and/or the guest’s career.
We refresh our menu of filmmakers and films each year, and we will work with you to find the right fit. Past Reel Talks guests include Marquise Mays, Vianca Fuster, Nardeep Khurmi, Agnieszka Holland, Andrew Ahn, and Doua Moua.
