The Long & The Shorts
Rewind. From July 27-28, competing filmmakers will make a video in 24 hours The site is the Milwaukee Art Museum, from 10:30 AM to 10:30 AM on the aforementioned dates. No need to bring a shower cap. The video challenge will be juried and screened the following day at MAM. On August 25, the Milwaukee International Film Festival will screen 80 minutes of short films from their 2004 festival. Outdoors, weather permitting…on MAM’s grassy knoll. It’s lakeside and August, so tote bug spray, or a giant swatter. Whatever.
