SIGN UP FOR OUR
MILWAUKEE FILM
NEWSLETTER!
mkefilm.org/newsletter

Ever notice how everything seems a little more when you
watch a movie in a theater? More beautiful, more humorous,
more touching, more important. Sure, the screen is bigger and
the sound louder, but the people in the seats around us remind
us that the story on the screen is not just about brave explorers
or young lovers, revolutionary crusaders or extravagant
characters, it’s about the human experience. That’s what the
Milwaukee Film Festival is all about: engaging with the human
experience through film.
Filmmakers from around the world, throughout the country,
and right here in Milwaukee tell stories as vibrant and diverse
as their places of origin and yet, somewhere, in any of them,
we can see ourselves and something completely new. And when
we step out of the theater, we can take that back into the world
and spread it. Imagine: for 15 days, stretching out across the
city, there’s a web of over 60,000 festival attendees pulling with
them new insights, fresh understanding, and the joy of being
recently entertained. Sometimes a film elevates a general social
consciousness. Sometimes it just makes someone more nice or
interesting or fun to be around.
The board and staff of Milwaukee Film, along with our generous
sponsors and volunteers, have worked hard to put the festival
together and to create an environment that fosters connections
in our city. We are thrilled that you have decided to join us. Each
of you brings something more to the festival.
See you at the theater,
WELCOME

DURING THE FESTIVAL
Eachfestivalboxofficeopensonehourbeforeitsvenue’sfirstshowofthedayand
closes30minutesafterthelastscreeningstarts.Getthereearlyandtakeadvantage
of standing-in-line time to make new friends and find out about other films.
*Tickets purchased online or by phone are processed as will call orders. Will call orders may only be
picked up at the theater on the day of the order’s first screening. Please arrive at least 30 minutes before
the screening to allow enough time for pickup.
When should I buy tickets?
We feel like you already know the answer
to this one. Which is: as soon as humanly
possible. Last year we had a record number
of sold-out screenings. That means lots
of people couldn’t get tickets to things
they wanted to see. Don’t be one of those
people. Buy your tickets now.
What if the screening is sold out?
If a film is listed as “Rush Line Only”
online, there’s still hope! You can join the
Rush Tickets line at the venue to buy any
unclaimed seats. Rush Tickets are sold on
a first-come, first-served basis, so get in
line early. There’s also a chance the film
will be screening again during the festival.
Check your program guide for days, times,
and locations.
What are Rush Tickets?
Rush Tickets are for unclaimed seats and
will be sold 15 minutes prior to showtime.
Rush Tickets cost $12 ($25 for Opening
Night, Centerpiece, and Closing Night
Films); no discounts.
How do I know what’s gone
to Rush status?
Every day at noon during the festival,
we update mkefilm.org/rush to let you
know what’s gone to Rush and what’s
selling quickly.
Can I purchase same-day tickets?
Absolutely! Same-day tickets are available
at all five box office locations up until one
hour before each film’s showtime. (Not
available online or by phone.)

Films!)—even the ones on Rush. It gets you into the Opening Night Party for free.
And if you have a Festival Pass and get to the theater at least 30 minutes before
showtime, you get to enter the theater without waiting in ticket-holder lines!
$500 GENERAL PUBLIC
THE FINE PRINT: NO REFUNDS. NO EXCHANGES. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED.
To guarantee a seat for a film, ticket and pass holders must arrive no later than 15 minutes prior to showtime.
Film programs, special guests, events, venues, dates, and times are subject to change without notice.
Unless noted, films are not rated; viewer discretion is advised. Patrons grant Milwaukee Film and its partners
permission to use their images or likenesses in any reproduction of events. Patrons voluntarily assume all
risks and dangers incidental to festival events, whether occurring prior to, during, or after the event or any
other event connected to the festival. Patrons voluntarily agree that Milwaukee Film and its facilities,

TICKETS
Why is my ticket yellow?
This is not a ticket! This is a voucher.
These yellow vouchers must be exchanged
for green tickets to specific festival films
valued at $12 or less, depending on ticket
availability. Vouchers must be exchanged
no later than 15 minutes before the film
you would like to see. It’s free to do and
can be done in person at any of our five
box office locations.
How can I get a Member discount?
Milwaukee Film Members pay 20% less
for tickets and passes and 15% less for
merchandise during the film festival.
Throughout the rest of the year, they get
to take advantage of a ton of great benefits.
If you aren’t yet a Member, sign up at
mkefilm.org/membershiporanyboxoffice
and enjoy these discounts immediately.
When should I arrive to a screening?
If you have a ticket for a film, we highly
recommend you arrive a minimum of 30
minutes prior to showtime to guarantee
a seat. Beginning 15 minutes before the
show, any empty seats will be sold to
patrons in the Rush Tickets line.
Can I bring kids to the film festival?
Yes, we’re a kid-friendly festival. However,
not all films have MPAA ratings. Some
movies might contain material unsuitable
for children under the age of 18. Use
discretion when selecting films for youths.
Age-appropriate films are available in the
Rated K: For Kids program listed on p. 36.

BEYOND THE FILMS
BEYONDTHE
FILMSYour Milwaukee Film Festival
experience doesn’t stop when
the theater lights go up!
FROM MODERATED PANEL DISCUSSIONS AND
FORUMS TO EDUCATION SCREENINGS AND PARTIES,
FESTIVAL EVENTS ENHANCE UNDERSTANDING,
ENJOYMENT, AND COMMUNITY.
Here’s your chance to move beyond engaged observer to
become an active participant in celebrating the festival,
the art, and your city.

Though most of our festival films are geared toward a
more grown-up audience, we strongly believe in giving the
kids in our community an opportunity to see inspiring,
beautiful, thought-provoking films and harnessing the
power of cinema to engage and educate.
Our friends at the Brewers Community Foundation,
Herzfeld Foundation, Greater Milwaukee Foundation -
Rosemary and William Sprinkmann Fund and the Grace
G. Horn Fund, and Gene and Ruth Posner Foundation
share this belief as well. That’s why we’re teaming up
with them once again to provide thousands of elementary,
middle, and high school students the chance to attend our
weekday morning Education Screenings.
All Education Screenings are held in the majestic, historic
Oriental Theatre on Milwaukee’s East Side. In 2014, more
than7,000studentspassedthroughthecinemadoors,many
of whom were experiencing the grandeur of the Oriental
for the very first time. Screenings include a brief discussion
and Common Core State Standards-aligned curriculum
packets for educators to help them integrate the screened
films into their classrooms.

YOUTH EDUCATION
Last year we launched a program to
bring visiting filmmakers into high
school and college classrooms to inspire
young people by talking informally
about their work.
With the generous support of the
Herzfeld Foundation, we have expanded
this program in order to bring more
filmmakers into classrooms and
after-school environments.

programs, please visit us at

Founders Awards
In July 2008, members of our community
came together to develop a cultural
institution that would host a world-class
film festival and nurture the community
and culture of film in Milwaukee. That
effortwasspearheadedbythreecommunity
leaders whose generosity and vision laid
the foundation for what Milwaukee
Film is today. While leading the Argosy
Foundation, philanthropist Chris Abele,
along with Carmen and Bill Haberman
of the Herzfeld Foundation, contributed
time and resources early on when we
needed it most, and they continue to
support our work today. It is because of
this that we honor them annually with the
presentation of our two Founders Awards.
Abele Catalyst
Award
ChrisAbelebelievesinthepositiveimpact
Milwaukee Film has on the community.
As someone who has been with us from
thebeginning,hehasbroughttoMilwaukee
Film the spirit that drives us today: to aim
high, think big, and understand that you
can always go further. The Abele Catalyst
Award is given annually to the person or
organization whose generous support for
Milwaukee Film is inspired by a similar
interest in having a catalytic and long-
lasting positive impact on our community
through film.
THIS YEAR, WE HONOR DONALD
AND DONNA BAUMGARTNER.
The Baumgartners’ philanthropic
investment in Milwaukee’s cultural life
exemplifies this award: accomplishing
great things in Milwaukee and,
importantly, having fun while doing it.
The Baumgartners share an appetite for
adventure and take life head on, a spirit
that aligns closely with Milwaukee Film
and is reflected in Donna’s leadership
on our Board of Directors.
Since 2010, the Baumgartners have been
supportersofMilwaukeeFilm,sponsoring
the Spotlight Presentations program
with leading support since 2012. Their
passion, generous spirit, and love of the
finest of art has been catalytic not only for
Milwaukee Film, but also the Florentine
Opera, Milwaukee Art Museum, and
Milwaukee Ballet.
The essence of their connection to the
festival though, as for most of us, is a
deep love of movies. “I love attending the
festival,” comments Donna. “The quality
and variety of films we attract is simply
stunning.” “There are few things better
in life than a provocative film and a fine
glass of wine,” according to Donald.
Herzfeld
Competition
Award
The Herzfeld Foundation’s deep
commitment to helping innovative arts
and arts education programs thrive in
Milwaukeeservedasaguidingforceduring
ourorganization’sgrowth.Thefoundation’s
legacy of being a steadfast advocate for the
value of art in our community inspired us
to name an award in its honor. Each year,
our Competition Program showcases a
selection of films believed to embody the
spirit of innovation and recognizes the
highest artistic possibilities in film today.
The $10,000 Herzfeld Competition Award
is awarded annually by a jury of film
industry members to one filmmaker from
our Competition Program (p. 28) who best
exemplifies that program’s spirit.

FILMGUIDEIt can be a little overwhelming:
300+ opportunities to be
entertained, informed,
and inspired.
WHERE TO BEGIN?
You can start by knowing any choice you make will be a
good one. Our films, hand-picked by our curators, are the
best of the best, many having already won awards and
wowed audiences at other festivals around the world.
HERE ARE A FEW WAYS TO CHOOSE FILMS
THAT ARE BEST FOR YOU:
• Each film in the following guide is part of a
Program Category that is color-coded and has
an introductory description. Pick films to see in
the thematic category that best fits your interest.
• Want to pick something quick that you are likely
to enjoy? Use our Quick Picks (p. 22) section to
immediately identify a film that fits your mood.
• Get a taste of what a film has in store with the
Trailers found with each film title on the Film
Guide of our website. Or visit our Milwaukee Film
Festival YouTube Channel for easy access to all
of them at once.
• Check out our Programming Staff Favorites
online (mkefilm.org) for curated top picks from those
intimate with the films.
• Word of Mouth is what this festival is all about!
Ask your friends and the folks in line before the
movies. And when you’ve made and enjoyed your
choice, return the favor to the festival community
by spreading the word. Better yet, bring along a
friend who’s never been to the festival to the next
showing. #MFF2015
Don’t forget, many films are screened multiple times at
multiple venues so you’ll have several chances to catch
your favorite choices—or see them again! The Schedule
(p. 76) at the back is an easy, all-in-one-place guide for
what’s playing where and when.

An early Oscar front-runner, Youth combines an amazing cast (Michael
Caine, Rachel Weisz, and Harvey Keitel) and director (Paolo Sorrentino,
whose The Great Beauty was the 2014 Foreign Language Oscar winner
and 2013 Milwaukee Film Members-Only screening) for a deeply moving
meditation on life and love. Filled with exquisite imagery, the film follows
Fred (Caine), a retired longtime composer and conductor, who brings
along his daughter (Weisz) and best friend, renowned filmmaker, Mick
(Keitel) who is working on his last screenplay, for a brief sojourn in the
Swiss Alps. As they reflect on their shared past, the men realize some of
the most formative experiences can come later in life. Caine and Keitel
give two of their finest performances.

▶ PRECEDED BY: Police Shooting Tests New Wisconsin Law | 10 min | DIR Erik Ljung
Former Utah sheriff William “Dub” Lawrence is as familiar with the mili-
tarization of law enforcement as one could possibly be—founder of Utah’s
first SWAT team, he presided over numerous drug busts and raids. But
in a cruel twist of fate, he bared witness 30 years later to his son-in-law’s
controversial death at the hands of the very unit he created. Utterly of the
moment, Peace Officer follows Dub’s efforts to uncover the truth behind his
tragedy while researching officer-related shootings that happened nearby.
This Oscar-worthy exposé that shows the ever-widening gulf between
the police and those they’re sworn to protect is appointment viewing in a
country where unarmed protesters and innocent civilians are often being
seen as threats.

Raiders shot for shot was the perfect storm of teen angst, creative
determination, and lack of parental oversight as they hung from moving
vehicles, recorded their first kisses, and set their mother’s basement on
fire. Yet, they were unable to create the classic airplane hangar sequence.
Uproariously funny and achingly sweet, Raiders! is the must-be-seen-to-

Larry (Jason Schwartzman) is an Austin-based misanthrope whose
only stable relationship is with his French bulldog, Arrow. When he isn’t
busy getting fired for drinking on the job, he’s visiting his grandmother
(Olympia Dukakis) in the hopes of a loan. After lucking into a position at
a car repair shop (automobile knowledge: none) and becoming enamored
with his boss, Larry must try to pull together his aimless malaise of a life.
Co-starring Alex Karpovsky (HBO’s Girls) and Tunde Adebimpe (from
TV on the Radio), 7 Chinese Brothers is a laugh-out-loud slacker comedy
with a showcase performance from Schwartzman.

the drop of a needle on some classic vinyl. Beatlemania hits Norway, and
Kim, Gunnar, Ola, and Seb can’t help but be swept up in the fever, plotting

to try to give viewers a sense of
what it has meant to be black in
America and to ask them to consider
this within our contemporary
context. His powerful, harrowing,
and ultimately inspirational stories
of the American civil rights
struggle have now graced our
festival three times. In 2010, Freedom Riders enlightened us to the
story of more than 400 black and white Americans with peaceful
intentions who, in 1961, risked violence to travel together through the
Deep South. 2014’s festival offering Freedom Summer is a poignant
portrait of Mississippi in 1964, a place of social unrest, where student
activists worked to register African-American voters and push
forward the civil rights movement. This year, his camera takes aim at
yet another wave of the struggle for racial equality in the United
States: the Black Panther Party. The first film in a three-part series of
documentaries about African-American history directed by Nelson,
America Revisited, The Black Panthers: Vanguard of the Revolution is
Nelson’s eighth film to premiere at the Sundance Film Festival.

body type, pedigree, and background, she shouldn’t be a part of one of the
world’s most prestigious ballet companies. But her inspirational story of

will leave no doubt as to how this trailblazer shot her way up the ranks and
overcame all obstacles to turn in breathtaking performances in Firebird

It’s a story that has become all too familiar—young, unarmed black men
killed by law enforcement agents who have sworn to protect them, followed
by protests-turned-riots sparked by the men’s untimely demise. But before
Michael Brown and Ferguson, there was Timothy Thomas, Roger Owensby,
and Cincinnati. A powerful examination of a moment preceding the
#BlackLivesMatter movement, the documentary Cincinnati Goddamn
presents a chilling and revealing look into what one academic calls “urban
genocide”—a volatile cocktail of systemic racism, widespread poverty, and
unchecked police brutality—and the grassroots activism that took to the
streets to challenge it.

thrown further into upheaval following the suicide of her best friend,
Andrea. Grace is already a social pariah tormented by a clique of bullies
(led by Raven-Symoné), and her desire to understand her friend’s decision
leads to Andrea’s older sister Share (Meagan Good), who encourages
Grace to embrace her sexuality, leading her down a rocky road of

Their music won the Best Record of the Year Grammy six consecutive

Sam Cooke. Yet, the public couldn’t name a single member of this legendary
outfit. They were The Wrecking Crew, and their “West Coast sound”
dominated the music landscape. An upbeat peek behind the curtain at
their massively influential labor of love, this documentary is filled with
celebrity testimonials and interviews with the original members. It’s a
must-see for fans of Twenty Feet From Stardom or Muscle Shoals.

A thought-provoking documentary about outsider art perfect for fans
of MFF2014’s Art and Craft, Almost There is the eight-year Midwestern
odyssey of two filmmakers and the 83-year-old artist they’ve discovered.
Peter Anton is as outside as an artist could possibly get—living in a home
literally crumbling around him and surrounded by personal diaries of his
collected art. It takes the efforts of filmmakers Dan Rybicky and Aaron
Wickenden to secure him his first gallery show. But controversy follows
when information about Anton’s complex history comes to light, secrets
that whisk him out of his childhood home and into elder care.

A loving documentary tribute to an acerbic comedic voice ahead of its time,
Call Me Lucky is an insightful portrait of comedian-turned-humanitarian
Barry Crimmins. Known for politically incisive satire (his two main targets:
the U.S. government and the Catholic church) and the formation of the
Boston comedy scene where he helped break numerous comedic talents,
Crimmins’ tortured past led him out of the world of comedy and directly to
Capitol Hill. Directed by close friend Bobcat Goldthwait and filled with

personality profile of a comedic legend who channeled his pain into humor.

life of the vibrant, energetic nonagenarian fashion icon Iris Apfel, now 93
years young and still going strong. A character study of a genuine character,
the film follows Iris from gala art events to the flea markets where she
makes her finds, all the while finding rich insights into her philosophy on
lifeandfashion—aphilosophythatvaluesindividualityandcreativity above

Aida on the bicentennial of Verdi’s birth certainly fits the bill. Mimes,

every aspect of the farmland (from the tiniest shrub to prized red cattle)
as ecologically connected and worthy of the utmost respect—an ethos
that has led to them supplying their home country of Denmark’s most
prestigious restaurants. However, their farming style is threatened by a
Danish government more concerned with persnickety EU regulations.
An absorbing documentary from MFF alum Phie Ambo, this film shows
the difficulties in maintaining a moral, ethical business in our modern
age of farming.

With Le Bec-Fin, one of the country’s finest French restaurants, set to be
sold, documentary filmmaker Erika Frankel seeks out its iconic proprietor,
Georges Perrier, to film a fitting tribute to this landmark Philadelphia
eatery, only to get far more than she bargained for. Perrier withdraws the
sale and seeks to reinvigorate Le Bec-Fin, bringing aboard Chef Nicholas
Elmi (of Top Chef fame) as his successor, only to find letting go far more
of a struggle than he anticipated. Archival footage and interviews with
world-renowned chefs make this feast for the eyes a portrait that also

If one is going to celebrate in style, one must do so with champagne, and
champagne is only truly champagne when it comes from the region of
France that is its namesake. Journey on a rare behind-the-scenes look
into the production of the bubbly, from small independent winemakers
who still observe classic traditions (turning the bottles by hand in their
wine cellars) to the massive businesses that have made champagne into
the worldwide brand it is. This is an effervescent portrait of this art
form’s past, present, and future, with an end product that is as much a
fizzy delight as the sparkling wine it documents.

The Armor of Light is the story of one evangelical minister’s realization
that his pro-life stance cannot exist in good conscience alongside a pro-
gun one. Reverend Rob Schenck makes the bold decision to team with a
grieving mother whose unarmed son was killed as a result of “stand your
ground” laws and advocate for more strident gun control, despite his
congregation’s heavy support of the NRA. These unlikely allies (Schenck
is an anti-abortion activist, while the mother is pro-choice) undertake
a tumultuous journey in this thoughtful and complex documentary that
proves moral lines need not be drawn by party lines.

A critically acclaimed companion piece to the breathtaking look into the

The Look of Silence approaches the 1960s Indonesian genocide not from
the perspective of its perpetrators but the survivors. It is an unflinching
glimpse into forgiveness and denial, every bit the equal of its Oscar-nom-
inated predecessor. Refusing to raise his children in a society cowed into
silence, a young man returns to the scene of these atrocities to confront
what murderers remain and make them look at the past—a dangerous
proposition when they remain in power.

In rural Ethiopia, it is not out of the ordinary for young women to be
subjected to marriage abduction—a process by which their kidnappers
become their husbands. Fourteen-year-old Hirut takes matters into her
own hands, however, escaping her captors and shooting her would-be
suitor dead. This would normally be a death sentence for a woman, but
news of her brave actions reaches a fiercely independent female lawyer
who aims to argue self-defense. Presented by Angelina Jolie, this riveting
drama that won the audience award at Sundance and Berlin is a powerful
reminder that gender equality is sometimes still a life-and-death struggle.

Precocious youngster Hany’s upper-class existence is thrown into disarray
when his father drops dead at dinner. With his mother no longer able to
afford his private Christian school, Hany is thrown into the culture shock
ofpublicschool,wherehe’smistakenforMuslimanddoesnothingtodissuade
his classmates, seeing it as an opportunity to fit in. A hilarious coming-of-
age comedy that tackles social discrimination and satirizes the Egyptian
education system, it’s no wonder the script for Excuse My French was held
up by Egyptian censors for four years. Luckily for us, this warmly comic
film now sees the light of day.

An ill-timed water balloon deployment finds Tomas sent away to stay with
his older brother Federico in Mexico City, with only a battered tape player
and lone cassette. Upon arrival, Tomas is introduced to Fede’s derelict
lifestyle alongside roommate Santos. This includes siphoning electricity
from their downstairs neighbor to pass the time when school is halted by a
student strike. When Tomas learns of his rock idol’s precarious health and

A group of friends at a Jerusalem retirement home bands together to help
their terminally ill friend end life on his own terms in this provocative
dramedy that has proved a hit on the festival circuit. When the self-eutha-
nizing device created by Ezekiel and his pensioner cohorts is used
successfully, word leaks out among their peers, embroiling them in an
ethical morass that only becomes greater when one in their own ranks
seeks out its use. Witty and affecting, affording its elderly characters
agency we rarely see in mainstream cinema, The Farewell Party tackles
its controversial subject matter with good humor and poignancy.

A thrilling “master class in throat-squeezing, stomach-knotting suspense”
(Hollywood Reporter) that nonetheless takes the time to craft exquisite set
pieces of macabre comedy, A Hard Day follows harried detective Ko’s titular
day that begins with his mother’s funeral and only gets worse from there. A
hit-and-run accident coupled with an Internal Affairs investigation into his
corrupt department’s criminal activity tighten the vise grip on Ko’s terrible,
horrible, no good, very bad day in this breathlessly paced and expertly edited
film. Trust us when we say you’ll want to experience the wild twists of A
Hard Day while shrieking and laughing alongside an audience.

From festival alum Nadav Lapid (Policeman, MFF2012) comes this
unsettling portrait of fascination curdled into obsession, as we follow a
woman determined to nurture her five-year-old student’s artistic talent
no matter the personal cost. Nira, the titular teacher, is stunned by her
student’s poetry and wishes to cultivate his rare gift. But as her lessons
begin to cross personal and professional boundaries, her determination
to value beauty and poetry in a society that ignores it threatens to unravel
her life in this bizarre and engrossing drama from one of the stalwarts of
the new wave of Israeli cinema.

final wish in this heartfelt Spanish comedy. He wishes for his prized
possession—a napkin with a draft of a song by legendary Ranchera singer
José Alfredo Jiménez—to be bequeathed to Jiménez’s official museum.
The trio embarks on a journey in defiance of loved ones and fears for their
safety, engaging in a series of comic adventures that remind them that
their golden years need not be spent solely reflecting on past memories.
They can, in fact, be an opportunity to create entirely new ones.

is a spirited university student, undeterred by her cerebral palsy from
having the traditional college experience, romance and all. A transfer
from Delhi University to NYU, she finds herself in an entirely new world in
more ways than one. A relationship is struck with a fiery female activist on
campus, one that allows for an awakening both creatively and sexually. An
inspirational love story tackling subject matter rarely explored with light-
heartedness, director Shonali Bose’s Toronto International Film Festival
award-winning drama is joyous cinema that is bound to win your heart.

The remarkable true story of a Polish boy’s solitary struggle to outlast the
Nazi occupation is given the epic treatment it deserves in Run Boy Run.
Young Srulik (stirringly portrayed by twin brothers Andrzej and Kamil
Tkacz) escapes the Warsaw ghetto into the woods, where he learns to
evade capture and subsist on scraps. But a harsh winter forces him into
civilization, where he must rely on the kindness of strangers and overcome
betrayal if he intends to survive. Based on a best-selling book and brought
to vivid life by Oscar-winning director Pepe Danquart, this Holocaust
drama has won festival awards worldwide.

A contemporary take on the upstairs-downstairs melodrama, The Second
Mother is a warmly humorous character study of a live-in housekeeper
in Sao Paulo and the estranged daughter who comes to stay with her and
the family she tends to. While working-class heroine Val is proud of the
work she does for her employer, her daughter Jessica (in town to enroll
in university) is less than impressed, upsetting the household status quo
and throwing into question hierarchies and social structures long since
established. Val is led to question where her loyalty resides—with her
proxy family or with her own flesh and blood.

Viktoria
Romania/Bulgaria | 2014 | 155 min | Bulgarian with English subtitles
A woman’s desire to escape the throes of Communist Bulgaria is thwarted
by the birth of her daughter, Viktoria, who, despite being born without
a belly button, is declared the “Socialist Bulgaria Baby of the Decade,”
becoming an immediate cause célèbre of the apparatchiki. We follow them
through this darkly comic absurdist epic, as both familial and political
terrain shift under their feet with the collapse of the Communist regime,
possibly allowing for mother and daughter to reconcile. Maya Vitkova’s
directorial debut is a surrealist, visually driven marvel stacked with
indelible imagery and a perfectly calibrated sense of the absurd.

It is 1916, in a remote province of the Ottoman Empire, with dangers en-
croaching from all sides (the First World War and the Great Arab Revolt,
to name two). Young Bedouin Theeb undertakes a crash course in survival
when he stows away on his brother Hussein’s journey of escorting a British
soldier through dangerous desert terrain to a distant wellspring in this
modern classic adventure film. Shot on many of the same locations as the
David Lean masterpiece Lawrence of Arabia, Theeb doesn’t wilt under
such comparisons. This is a rousing adventure/coming-of-age story that
provides epic drama without losing sight of its human focus.

A Palestinian household trapped in amber is awoken by the arrival of an
orphaned niece in this family drama, from the co-writer of Lemon Tree
(MFF2009) and The Syrian Bride. Teenaged Badia is made to live with her
three aunts, women whose fashion and behavior are relics of the past, and
their plans to make her a proper lady and marry her off prove disastrous.
Villa Touma comes to our festival as a “stateless picture,” a Palestinian
story funded by Israel and disowned by both—an example of life imitating
art in the case of a movie steeped in Arab-Israeli conflict.

An evocative coming-of-age tale set on the fringes of society, The Wonders
(winner of the Cannes Grand Prize) is a Fellini-esque portrait of the
magical thinking of adolescence. Young Gelsomina is being groomed to
take over her father’s simple beekeeping and honey production business
(in addition to caring for her younger sisters), with little consideration
given to her feelings on the matter. An incursion from a garish and surreal
reality TV show competition in search of Italy’s “Most Traditional Family”
(hosted by a wonderful Monica Bellucci) only serves to exacerbate the
push and pull between their simple life and fast-encroaching modernity.

Family matriarch Solange welcomes her three adult daughters home for a
weekend of revelry and catching up (and also maybe introducing the kids
to her stodgy new beau). This de facto family reunion turns into a manhunt
when 14-year-old granddaughter Zouzou skips out after being caught in
flagrante delicto with her young love. An unapologetic examination of
female desire, this bawdy French comedy tackles head-on the friction of
family tradition colliding with modernity, as this family learns a little
too much about one another’s love lives while also enacting compromise,
forgiveness, and acceptance over the course of one crazy night.

INDEX COUNTRY
STOP US IF YOU’VE HEARD THIS ONE BEFORE:
HOW MANY VOLUNTEERS DOES IT TAKE
TO MAKE A FILM FESTIVAL HAPPEN?
Hundreds of them, working a lot of hours (4,732, to be exact!).
And we’re pretty lucky that every single one of them is awesome.
They wrangle our lines, take your tickets, collect your surveys,
and do their best to make sure you never get in the wrong line
or go through the wrong door.
They do it because they love the Milwaukee Film Festival.
And, boy, do we love them, too.
Thanks a million, volunteers.
We couldn’t do it without you.
