2026 World Cinema Day

World Cinema Day, a collaboration between UW-Madison’s WIRC and the Wisconsin Film Festival that began in 2004, brings school children and teachers to Madison for the screening of a high-quality, international film with an introduction and post-film discussion led by a member of the UW faculty or staff. Please direct questions to Terry Kerr at terry@wifilmfest.org.
