This spring, the marquee of three theaters will light up with the words, “2023 Milwaukee Film Festival.” The hub for the fest will be the hallowed halls of the magnificently renovated Oriental Theatre. Marvel at the incredible craftsmanship that has built the Oriental Theatre into one of Milwaukee’s most storied movie houses (Bonus points if you can count the number of elephants hidden around the theatre).
Reach for the stars at the Avalon Atmospheric Theater. In the seating area, stare at the twinkling starry constellations of the venue’s ceiling. The nearly century-old Mediterranean Revival-style building on Kinnickinnic Ave. in Bay View is the last standing atmospheric theater in the city.
On the border of Milwaukee and Wauwatosa, The Times Cinema is one of the few remaining venues in the country to feature a single screen. The bright marquee lights of the recently remodeled theater will display Milwaukee Film Festival titles for the second consecutive year since the fest returned from the pandemic.
