It’s hard to believe it was fi ve years ago that the fi lm festival debuted in our city. It has quickly grown from a few thousand moviegoers in 2003 to last year’s record-breaking festival of 31 sell-out shows and more than 23,000 patrons. The Milwaukee International Film Festival is having a profound impact on how our city is perceived on a local, regional, national and even international basis. The festival has developed into a cultural mainstay and has become a fi tting endpoint to Milwaukee’s festival season. This year’s Milwaukee International Film Festival ushers in a new era of fi lmmaking in Wisconsin. Beginning in 2008, state legislation will provide tax incentives to fi lmmakers who produce their fi lms here. Special guests and fi lmmakers visiting Milwaukee—many for the fi rst time—will discover a city with every conceivable location, including a beautiful lakeshore and RiverWalk, both turn-of-the-century and modern architecture, luscious park space, unique museums and eclectic neighborhoods. I welcome you to experience and enjoy all that the fi lm festival and Milwaukee have to offer. Sincerely, Tom Barrett Mayor 5th Annual Milwaukee International Film Festival 2007 9 We offer German Language Courses for adults and children. reaches a milestone in 2007 with its MGIC 50th anniversary.

In the years since its debut in 2003, the Milwaukee International Film Festival (MIFF) Mary Manion, (right) has become an important part of local culture for presenting great, provocative fi lms from around the world. The festival invites moviegoers of all ages, tastes and interests to explore fi lms, directors and talent that rarely make their way to Milwaukee. Given the quality of its fi lmmaking and the signifi cant young fi lmmakers it has nurtured, Mexico is this year’s festival spotlight. This focus features a blend of feature-length fi ction and documentary fi lms, a shorts program and a panel discussing contemporary Mexican fi lm and its infl uence on our culture. Favorite programming tracks from previous years remain in this year’s festival. The principal goal of MIFF has always been to provide audiences a wider, global perspective through the World Cinema program. This year includes many award-winning movies from across the globe. The Midwest Filmmaker Competition, the only juried contest of its kind in the world, highlights extraordinary movies made in the Midwest region. The competition, which features screenings, panels, parties and cash prizes, has become a celebratory gathering for the Midwest fi lm community. The variety of fi lms to explore at the fi fth annual Milwaukee International Film Festival is enormous. In a world where commercial cinemas are presenting fewer and fewer options, MIFF provides us with the opportunity to watch powerful contemporary fi lms on the big screen, as they are meant to be seen.

The 2008-09 Civic Arts season begins at 8 p.m. tonight with a dazzling acrobatic display. The rest of the season is packed with events for all ages through May. Whether it is comedians, ris- ing jazz stars or a group called the Sippy Cups, organizers have selected high quality acts to grace the Amador Theater stage. Andy Jorgensen, manager of Civic Arts, said some of the most exciting offerings this year are for the younger set. “One thing we’re incorporating this year is the SaturYAY matinees for young children,” he said. “We’re developing a season to move over to the Firehouse.” Having already broken ground, the Firehouse Arts Center, for- merly Fire Station No. 1, is in the beginning stages of what will eventually become downtown’s center for creative expression. There on Railroad Avenue down the street from Meadowlark Dairy and backing up to Lions Wayside Park will be a 240-seat theater with 2,000 feet of gallery space as well as arts classrooms. The first SaturYAY performance will take place at 11 a.m. Nov. 22 with Michael Cooper presenting “Masked Marvels and Wondertales.” Three more Saturday morning shows will take place in December, January and February, with tickets costing $6-$14 for children and $10 to $18 for adults.
