Hey, look who has a new camera lens and some new lights! In an effort to class up the joint, I’ve been experimenting with something called “production values” for the Moving Image Madison videos. The experimentation will continue in the coming weeks, but I’m happy with the way things are looking so far.
In this video I pick a few highlights in the UW-Cinematheque Fall 2026 schedule. There are really too many highlights this fall. But I thought I’d mention some of the titles that probably will not get as much attention as others, but I’m looking forward to seeing (if I can attend!).
Here are the titles I mention. You can read more about these and other films at the UW-Cinematheque website, cinema.wisc.edu. Most screenings are in 4070 Vilas Hall, 821 University Avenue, and admission is free.
