COVID-19 update: The Wisconsin Film Festival Canceled

The 2020 Wisconsin Film Festival is canceled as a result of the threat posed by COVID-19. The University of Wisconsin–Madison recently suspended Spring Semester classroom instruction and canceled events with more than 50 people through at least April 10. At this time, we are in the process of notifying filmmakers, sponsors, donors, volunteers, and all of our stakeholders.



Tickets for the 2020 Wisconsin Film Festival will be refunded. We humbly ask for patience as we work through the many details involved with this process. We would be grateful if you could refrain from contacting the box office at this time. Updates will be posted on our website as more information becomes available.



We are grateful for your understanding of this difficult situation and your support of us through the years. Know that we remain committed to our mission of celebrating the best in global cinema and look forward to seeing you at next year’s Wisconsin Film Festival, April 8–15, 2021.



Our hearts go out to all of the people and communities affected by COVID-19.



Sincerely,



Professor Kelley Conway

Artistic Director, Wisconsin Film Festival



Susan Zaeske

Interim Director UW-Madison Division of the Arts



And the entire team at the Wisconsin Film Festival
