Milwaukee LGBT Film & Video Festival

June

Milwaukee PrideFest celebrates its 25th Anniversary this June 8, 9, and 10 and the Festival will be uncorking screenings on the evenings of June 8 & 9 at the Stonewall Stage. To commemorate the occasion we will be sharing some videos (late 80's - 1987-88 mostly) that reflect the era from which PrideFest emerged. Work by Isaac Julien, John Greyson, Barbara Hammer, Stuart Marshall, and all sorts of cable-access activists. Also to screen: a video George Kuchar made in Milwaukee in 1988!

Work to screen includes: This Is Not an AIDS Advertisement (Isaac Julien, 1988); Neil Bartlett: Pedagogue (Stuart Marshall, 1988); T.V. Tart (Barbara Hammer, 1988); The ADS Epidemic (John Greyson, 1987); Angry Initiatives, Defiant Strategies (John Greyson with Deep Dish TV, 1988: this show produced for alternative television is a compilation of bulletins from cable access shows across the globe); Motivation of the Carcasoids (George Kuchar, with UWM Film Department students, 1988) and more!
