Did you know that over the course of its two weeks, this year’s Milwaukee Film Festival will have screened 131 features and 169 shorts? For the math heads out there, that’s a whopping 300 titles filling the 2024 event’s program. Even for a cinephile with unlimited time and energy reserves, seeing every single one isn’t an option. That’s why we’re here.
"We" is, of course, Kpolly and Dori — AND returning for yet another Milwaukee Filmtastic episode is the organization’s programing director, Kerstin Larson. If you missed our last installment, Kerstin joined our ’Buds to provide the kind of recommendations you might expect from the person responsible for picking the films that show up in the fest.
But that was just week one. We have a whole second week to tackle, and you can hear the trio’s must-see movies in this episode.

In this episode of Cinebuds, Dori & Kristopher chop it up about "American Fiction". It's the Oscar-nominated film (2023) about a respected, yet frustrated, Black novelist who's fed up with an establishment that profits from relying on offensive tropes about the Black community. To prove his point, he uses a pen name to write his own outlandish "Black book" that, much to his chagrin, ironically becomes a critical success.
