Community Partners

Building Impact Through Partnership

In our Community Partners program, we use our film expertise to pair your local business, nonprofit organization, community group, or student group with a film and/or related event whose subject matter or story fits with you.

With opportunities to connect with films and events in our year-round programming, as well as our annual Milwaukee Film Festival and Dialogues Documentary Festival, there is something for everyone to get excited about! Once paired, you help us promote the film or event to all the people you know and love through email blasts, social media, fliers, and word-of-mouth. We help extend your mission to our big screens through quality cinematic programming.

This program is free for everyone! It’s about love, not money.
