Women's History Month 2023


Honor and explore the breadth and depth of genres that women in film create. 

Join Milwaukee Film at The Oriental Theatre throughout March to celebrate Women's History Month, inspired by the theme "Woman is not a Genre," featuring films directed by women representing a breadth of genre exploration and genre play. We've got something for everyone on screen this month – from romance to the supernatural to musicals, animation, and beyond!
