From all of us at the Wisconsin Film Festival, we want to express our deepest gratitude to everyone who made the 2025 festival possible. These incredible 10 days wouldn’t have happened without our generous sponsors who believe in the power of film to transform communities, our tireless volunteers who worked countless hours behind the scenes, the visionary filmmakers who trusted us with their stories, and of course, YOU, our amazing audience. Your enthusiasm, thoughtful questions during Q&As, passionate conversations in theater lobbies, and continued support are what truly bring this festival to life year after year.

We’ve witnessed so many awesome moments together and these shared experiences remind us why we do this work. Film has this extraordinary ability to connect us across continents, challenge our perspectives, teach us something new, and make us feel less alone in the world.

The credits may have rolled on WFF 2025, but our love of cinema continues year-round with our ongoing free and open to the public Cinematheque screenings.

Don’t forget to mark your calendars for the 28th Wisconsin Film Festival next spring— dates announced soon!!
