Milwaukee Film Festival
The Milwaukee Film Festival is a public film festival held each spring from April 20 through May 4 in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. The festival is organized by Milwaukee Film, a cultural arts organization that operates Milwaukee's historic movie palace, The Oriental Theatre, and facilitates year-long programming and initiatives using film to inspire community, artistry, education, and joy. In 2015, 304 films from more than 50 countries were screened at five Milwaukee County venues, with nearly 71,000 attendees. Founded in 2009, after the Milwaukee International Film Festival was discontinued, the Milwaukee Film Festival is the fifth largest film festival in the United States in terms of attendance, the number of films screened and festival length.
