Cinematic Sisterhood

June 1, 2026-January 31, 2027 The Oriental Theatre

Join us for the second season of celebrating women in film.

Series Presented by Tracey B. Thomas

Initially made possible by a special grant from the Women’s Fund of Greater Milwaukee, Cinematic Sisterhood highlights the often overlooked work of women (and nonbinary) filmmakers, reframing their bodies of work, bringing new perspectives to wider audiences, and supporting up-and-coming storytellers. When possible, screenings are accompanied by a networking hour, discussions with visiting filmmakers, expert panels, or masterclasses to maximize connecting event attendees to the wider world of films and filmmaking.

New selections to be added monthly!
