Tickets for the Wisconsin Film Festival, the largest campus-based film festival in the country, will go on sale Saturday.
The festival will provide audiences with eight consecutive days of documentaries, comedies, classics and films from around Wisconsin, beginning April 11.
The renowned “Wisconsin’s Own” films, which will be shown at the festival, are created by filmmakers with ties to the Badger state. Even closer to campus, the film “56 Up” features University of Wisconsin-Madison engineering professor Nick Hitchon as one of its subjects.
The festival will kick off with the Crystal Ball benefit Friday from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. at the Hilldale Shopping Center. Food, drinks and sneak previews to this year’s films will be provided. Tickets for the benefit are $25 in advance, and $30 at the door.
Advance tickets for the festival can be purchased on the film festival website or at Union South for $8, or $5 with a student ID. During the festival, tickets will cost $10 or $5 with a student ID.
