So, I totally missed mentioning the 2008 Milwaukee Underground Film Festival, which just ran May 1-3. This is an all-shorts, student-run festival held at the University of Wisconsin: Milwaukee. This year featured two new festival directors, Robyn Braun and Melissa Campbell, who maintained the fest’s penchant for several power-packed nights of shorts. The festival has passed, but I still want to note what played, so you’ll see the full lineup below. Next year, maybe I’ll be more on the ball.

One note, though: The festival this year featured several films by Sylvia Schedelbauer, but you can read my review of False Friends from when it played at last year’s ATA Film and Video Festival. It was a great film.
