This year’s student-run Milwaukee Underground Film Festival runs four days on April 30-May 3 at the Union Theater on the campus of University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee and at the Microlights Cinema.
The fest kicks off on April 30 with two films by one of this year’s jurors, Marika Borgeson: The Starry Messenger, which used the sun as it’s only developing agent; and the work-in-progress Excerpt From Arcanam Terra Lacrimarum; plus films by other artists selected by Borgeson.
On the following afternoon, May 1, there will be a presentation by this year’s other two jurors, Kelly Gallagher and Ben Balcom, which will include their own films, plus others selected from the Uwm Archives.
The rest of the festival features an explosion of terrific experimental films, including work by Lori Felker, Turn on the Hill; Zachary Epcar, Under the Heat Lamp an Opening; Mike Olenick, Beautiful Things; Josh Weissbach, Model Fifty-One Fifty-Six; Clint Enns,...

The last time I checked in to see what Dan Deacon was up to, he was scoring Francis Ford Coppola's Gothic horror film, "Twixt Now and Sunrise." In the meantime, the composer was also busy on a mysterious collaboration with filmmaker pal, Jimmy Joe Roche in the Netherlands. The two collaborated on a short film that evolved out of a three-week residency in Hilvarenbeek, Netherlands, as part of the Incubate arts festival. The script was loose, the hoods were tight, the music was transcendental.
In "Hilvarenbeek," heavily armed crazies who live deep in the forest only need the structures they build in their minds. And when an apocalyptic evangelical maniac (who looks decidedly like Roche) speaks about the dark past, the sunlight filtering through the canopy brilliantly disappears on cue. An old cattle hand waxes about being the boss, in a strange collision of pop culture and surreal narrative.
