OMilwaukee Film programming director Kerstin Larson joins Dori and Kpolly to talk about the return of the Milwaukee Film Festival, including some of their favorite selections from the two-week event:
Sally, a documentary about Sally Ride, directed by Milwaukee native Christina Constantini, is the opening night film. Christina Costantini also directed Science Fair, which was an opening night film a few years prior.
Teaches of Peaches, a documentary about the musician Peaches, will be shown on the first full day of the festival. This film is part of the Sound Vision program and also fits into the genre queer category.
Desperately Seeking Susan, starring Madonna, will have a screening with Susan Sidleman in attendance for a book signing and talk. This is the film's 40th anniversary.
Boys Go to Jupiter is an animated film described as goofy and cute with a cast of alternative comedy voice actors.
Waves is a historical period piece about a rogue radio station in the Czech Republic in the 1960s.
Art Spiegelman: Disaster Is My Muse, a documentary about the graphic novelist who wrote "Mouse," will be featured.
Green Blah, The History of Green Bay Punk Rock is a documentary about the punk rock scene in Green Bay.
