THANK YOU!
Eight days. Seven theaters. Over 135+ films. And a community that showed up in the most extraordinary way. At the end of the 28th Wisconsin Film Festival, find ourselves overwhelmed with gratitude, and we mean that sincerely. To our incredible sponsors who make all of this possible, our tireless volunteers who give so much of themselves every single year, and the visionary filmmakers who trusted us with their stories—thank you. From the bottom of our hearts.
And to you—the audiences who packed our houses, rushed our lines, snagged sweet merch, asked awesome questions, lingered in the lobbies for an extra convo or two, and reminded us every single day why cinema matters, you are the reason we do this. For almost 30 years, the Wisconsin Film Festival has always felt like something truly special, and that is entirely because of the community that gathers around it.
This is what film does at its best. It connects us. It challenges us. It moves us in ways we didn’t see coming and leaves us a little different than when we walked in. We’ve seen that happen over and over again this week, and we are so grateful to have shared it with you. Save the dates and we’ll see you back in the seats next year!
