Members of the press who are working on assignment to cover films and events at the 2023 Milwaukee Film Festival may apply for credentials to receive access to public films, events, panels, and more. There are multiple tiers of accreditation that provide a variety of access opportunities.
Applying for press accreditation does not guarantee tier level or acceptance, and entry into public screenings and events is not guaranteed, regardless of accreditation status. Pass holders and ticket holders must be in line at least 30 minutes prior to the start of a screening. Ticket to individual screenings must be requested at least one day before the desired screening and are subject to availability.
By applying for press accreditation, you agree to make your name, media outlet, and contact information available to filmmakers and distributors with work being screened in the Festival. Please email
press@mkefilm.org for more information.
