Just last week Milwaukee Film, the newly formed independent organization that will host Milwaukee's premier film festival, announced Diane Bacha as its executive director.

Today it announces the lineup for its premiere event, "The Milwaukee Show," on Thursday, Oct. 23, starting at 6:30 p.m.

The 90-minute event comprises a variety of local short films presented in the main auditorium of Landmark's Oriental Theatre, 2230 N. Farwell Ave. The one-night-only screening features a collection of 10 films, and includes traditional narrative storytelling, documentary, personal memoir, music video, comedy and experimental.

"Launching our new organization with The Milwaukee Show was no accident," said Jonathan Jackson, artistic director for Milwaukee Film. "We believe in the talent of the local film scene and wanted to champion that with our inaugural screening. It's essential that Milwaukee filmmakers are given an annual opportunity to show their work in front of a large audience, at such an incredible venue." The event will double as the launch party for Milwaukee Film.

The competition shorts were selected from a pool of nearly 70 submissions, more than twice the number received in past years, by an independent panel of judges. The panel included Elfrieda Abbe, Duane Dudek, Steve Hyden, Blyth Meier, Christine Prevetti, Scott Radtke, OnMilwaukee.com Managing Editor Bobby Tanzilo and Jessica Zalewski.
