WHO CAN WATCH VIRTUALLY

In 2022, the only way to view films virtually is with a pass - either our Virtual Only, or the All-Access (which includes virtual access along with in-person access) versions! NO SINGLE VIRTUAL TICKETS WILL BE AVAILABLE AT MFF2022.

All films are available only to viewers within the U.S. All virtual content is available throughout the continental United States!

Your all-access pass can be shared with members of the same household, but not beyond that.

WHAT TO WATCH

With approximately 60% of our MFF2022 lineup available for online consumption, this year's virtual lineup has something for everyone.

We'd recommend you start by browsing all the film titles on our website. If you have a predilection for paper, we also have a PDF film guide you can download and print. For our passholders, you can start your browsing at watch.mkefilm.org and even add titles to your "watch later" list.

WHEN TO WATCH VIRTUALLY

Films will be available on a rolling basis throughout the Festival, starting at noon on Thursday, April 21. Whenever a film is newly added, it will remain available for the duration of the festival.

A couple of titles have special restrictions and will only be available for a short time. Those films are clearly marked in the film descriptions. Passholders are free to watch films on demand throughout the Festival. Once you begin watching your movie, you'll have 48 hours to complete it.

The Milwaukee Film Festival turns into a pumpkin after 11:59 p.m. CT on Thursday, May 20, so no matter when you start your film, it won’t be available after midnight. 

Please note: Even though we’re virtual, films can still sell out! Film distributors may put restrictions on how many people can stream their film. If you have a title you don’t want to miss, your best bet is to watch it early in the Festival.
