Today’s the last day to buy advance tickets for the 16th annual Wisconsin Film Festival through wifilmfest.org. Starting Thursday, the first day of the eight-day festival, tickets will be available for a film at the venue on the day of the screening (meaning you can buy a ticket for an evening show that morning, which is a smart strategy). Even for the films below, which sold out all their advance tickets, a limited number of rush tickets will likely be available — just get in line at least an hour before the screening and cross your fingers.
Hopefully this list of advance ticket sellouts will help you plan out your fest.

If anyone feels up to the challenge of watching the original print of VERTIGO with a view to resolving a controversy, I’d be grateful if they’d email me at the address peter dot hayes dot llb at bigpond dot com; or feel free to contact me on Twitter via @PeterHayesLLB on what to look out for. I can’t attend myself as I live in Australia and the travel budget wouldn’t stretch as far as Madison just at the moment.
