We’re 88Nine’s Justin Barney and Milwaukee Film’s Kpolly. We’re buds, we like cinema — we’re Cinebuds.
On a very special episode of Cinebuds — It’s CINBUDS LIVE! We’re so delighted to share our live Cinebuds taping that went down during the 2022 Milwaukee Film Festival.
The 40th anniversary screening of John Carpenter’s “The Thing” on 35mm played to a packed main house at the Oriental Theater on April 28, and then little old us came out afterwards to chat discuss the film and chat with the audience.
We had a blast talking about the gross ’80s latex monsters, the whodunnit nature of the story, and, of course, the general appeal of one Mr. Kurt Russell. It was a lovely experience to chat on a stage with so much history behind it and talk to some folks who were just as into this magically gooey film as we are! Take a listen!

At the beginning of each screening at the Milwaukee Film Festival audience members were handed a small paper ballot and asked to vote for the Allan H. (Bud) and Suzanne L. Selig Audience Award. Honestly, it’s so much fun. It’s one of those things that makes the festival really special. As an audience member, YOU are the judge. It’s power. And recognition of your great taste.
Well, we are happy to announce, the winners of this year’s Allan H. (Bud) and Suzanne L. Selig Audience Award. For Best Feature the award went to “Navalny.” (dir. Daniel Roher), an urgent and real-time political thriller about Russian opposition leader, Alexei Navalny; the film showed as Milwaukee Film’s Centerpiece screening.
Best Short went to “The Warrior Princess.” directed by Vianca Fuster, former 88Nine Community Stories producer and Milwaukee native. It’s Fuster’s debut short documentary about Milwaukee’s own Violet “The Warrior Princess” Lopez, a five-time amateur national boxing champion who believes that boxing shouldn’t just be a “boy’s sport.”
Milwaukee Film also announced that the 2023 Milwaukee Film Festival will take place from April 20 – May 4. 2023.

The wild, mountainous peaks of Tibet–a gorgeous, frigid world that resembles a lunar landscape–are inhabited by regal antelope, soaring falcons, herds of yak, lumbering bears, and the diminutive but forbidding Pallas’ cat. But, for our guides, the Holy Grail is the majestic, elusive snow leopard. Their adventurous sleuthing is punctuated by intimate conversations about the existential nature of their quest. With epic visuals and original music by Warren Ellis and Nick Cave, THE VELVET QUEEN is a not-to-be-missed, swoon-worthy experience. Preceded by SNOWSTORM Dir. David Busse.
