In Memoriam
Those we lost in 2025
As we reflect on the year in film, we take a moment to remember luminaries we lost in 2025 and to honor them through viewing films where their creativity is on display. Think of this as an awards montage where you get a bit longer to reflect and honor those we’ve lost in the past year through revisiting or discovering exemplary work from their careers.
From well-known names like Diane Keaton, Val Kilmer, Robert Redford, Jimmy Cliff, and of course Milwaukee’s own Bob Uecker; to legendary character actors like Graham Greene and Udo Kier; to those we lost too soon like Michelle Trachtenberg; to international stars like Claudia Cardinale and Homayoun Ershadi; to behind the camera legends and craftspeople like Lalo Schifrin, Rob Reiner, David Lynch, Tom Stoppard, Robert Benton, Stanley Jaffe … the list goes on, with more to be announced soon. (Plus many we’ve left off this list due to rights or film availability.)
Screenings run now through February, celebrating the enduring impact of their work on film, music, and culture.
