Founded in 1999, the Wisconsin Film Festival is the state’s premier film festival, taking place in the heart of its capital city Madison.

The four-day annual festival takes place each spring in ten downtown Madison theaters, all within walking distance. The Festival presents new American independent and world cinema (narrative, documentary, shorts, experimental), restored classics, and the work of Wisconsin filmmakers.

A programme of over 150 films and an attendance of 30,000 make it a lively event that’s become a major part of the state’s cultural calendar.

The 2009 Festival’s set to take place in April 2009 and is currently calling for submissions from filmmakers from around the world for the ‘Open Reel’ Category.
