Look...
Sometimes doing what I do, you get caught up in everything and you just miss things when you first find out about them - my pile of DVD's to catch up on is a testament to that. So today I decided YOU NEED TO BE CAUGHT UP on what is happening with Milwaukee Film.
Today they made their latest announcement...their Sound Vision lineup for this year's festival.
Always a favorite for me...this is the series that always will have you tapping your toes in the aisles, remembering some of your favorite acts, and learning about other special musical visionaries that you may never have known about.

Blyth Meier, Marketing Director for Milwaukee Film and programmer for Sound Vision is ecstatic about this year’s riveting lineup:
“20,000 Days on Earth–about the enigmatic musician, writer and poet Nick Cave–is one I’m incredibly excited to bring to Milwaukee. The timing on this is fantastic as Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds recently performed here and left us all in awe. What makes it even more special to me on a personal level is that the first time I watched 20,000 Dayswas at Sundance, sitting across from Cave himself. It was surreal,” shares Blyth. On why she programmed The Talking Heads documentary for the second year in a row, Blyth explains, “Last year's screening of Stop Making Sense became a gigantic dance party–how could we not show it again this year for its 30th anniversary?”
And Blyth has been someone I trust!
The program is sponsored this year by WMSE 91.7FM and The Pabst Theater

But they haven't just announced Sound Vision recently...also they announce a REALLY Cool food related program.
Let's face it food at the box office has produced some totally memorable films this year. From the recently released The Hundred-Foot Journey to the inspired Chef ... food on the bigscreen has been truly appetizing.
So it makes PERFECT sense that the place where I was introduced to the magical film about wine (SOMM) and the indepth and emotional film about the love with food in all types of restaurants (Spinning Plates).

“We have such a strong food heritage in Milwaukee thanks to the diverse communities that settled here–it only seems fitting to introduce Film Feast to the Festival. The films screening as part of the program are as much about the food itself–the preparation and consumption–as they are about the incredible life and culture around them. We’re acknowledging both with an incredible range of films that go beyond standard food documentaries,” shares Jonathan Jackson, Artistic and Executive Director for Milwaukee Film.
The program is presented by The Bartlotta Restaurants and the Media Sponsor is OnMilwaukee.com
That's just the last two announcements from Milwaukee Film. I love the festival, but know that by the time it hits, since we missed summer here, it will be on the way to cooler days....and I don't want to let summer go. But if I have to...there's nothing better than to get me in the theater with a great festival.
The 6th Annual Milwaukee Film Festival will be held September 25-October 9, 2014.
