The Wisconsin Humanities Council collaborated with the Urban Ecology Center and Milwaukee Film to bring this exciting weekend of events to Milwaukee. The program didn't just include a line-up of powerful films from around the world -- local organizers went out of their way to help make real-life connections between the movies on the big screen and the city's own environment. Audience members were treated to a guided bird walk through Riverside Park, a wild mushroom foray, and a family cooking demonstration. "This is so much more than just a film festival!" said one participant, as she draped the bird-watching binoculars around her neck.
Check out a few snapshots from the Milwaukee film fest, below, and consider joining us this weekend when the Chequamegon Bay community hosts the fourth and final Making It Home Film Festival at the Northern Great Lakes Visitor Center in Ashland!
Author Bill McKibben kicked off the Milwaukee festival with an inspiring public talk about his new book, Eaarth: Making a Life on a Tough New Planet.
After the screening of Ghostbird, Urban Ecology Center education staff led about a dozen movie-goers on a guided bird walk through Riverside Park.
