Rooftop Cinema: Milwaukee Experimental Films

Overview

Rooftop Cinema: Milwaukee Experimental Films
Thursday, August 21 • 9 PM • Rooftop Sculpture Garden • Free Admission

Experience a breadth of dynamic and experimental films made in Wisconsin. Thanks to a nationally recognized experimental film program at UW-Milwaukee as well as community organizations like Riverwest Film & Video and the Milwaukee Underground Film Festival, Milwaukee has a vibrant experimental filmmaking community. While experimental films from Milwaukee play at festivals around the country, not enough of them are screened in Madison.

James Kreul, Curator’s Note

This program of recent experimental short films showcases Milwaukee’s filmmaking community while the Museum celebrates art from across the state in the Wisconsin Triennial. 

Stop into Rooftop Cinema a little early for Muse at MMoCA. Learn more at mmoca.org/muse
