Lewis says:
The film I saw at the 2024 Wisconsin Film Festival that's stuck with me the most. Really strikes at the heart of internet-induced spectator dissociation brainrot in way few have been able to do successfully. Human suffering is reduced to just more content... put down your phone (this is mostly a reminder to myself).

Luke says:
A heartfelt film that blurs the line between fiction and reality. I saw this one at the 2023 Film Fest and what stuck with me is the way this family responds to a terrible thing by making a film about it together.

Robert says:
Directed by the late Nietzchka Keene, Professor of Communication Arts at UW-Madison, "The Juniper Tree" is a truly unique independent film from the early 1990s. Set in medieval Iceland and based on a Brothers Grimm story, the film features Bjork in her first starring role as a woman hiding in the countryside after her mother is killed for allegedly practicing witchcraft. Dreamy black and white cinematography, stark Icelandic landscapes, and Bjork's otherworldly persona made this film one of the most memorable experiences I had at the 2019 edition of the Wisconsin Film Festival.
