This year there are a lot of foreign directors making an appearance like Argentinean Natalie Cristiani director of Nicola Costantino: The Artefacta with the subject of her documentary Nicola Costantino. Also the subject of The Russian Woodpecker Fedor Alexandrovich will be in attendance for a screening of that movie. The number of foreign people making the trip to Milwaukee is good news that the festival is growing in prestige throughout the world.
Not listed is John Boyega who is staring in Imperial Dreams, so we won’t be able to ask him any questions about Star Wars, but the director of Imperial Dreams Malik Vitthal will be in attendance so we can ask if he has any gossip.
For the first time that I know of there is a dog listed. The Great Alone is about musher Lance Mackey and his quest to conquer the Iditarod. He and his dog Amp will be present to answer question. So brush up on your doggy speak.
Be sure to check out the full list below and try to plan on seeing one of the movies.
