2005 Wisconsin Film Festival: Choosing film screens over sunscreen

The films are back in their canisters. The theater floors have been swept and mopped. The audience’s eyes have adjusted to sunlight again.

The seventh annual Wisconsin Film Festival is over, but memories of the four-day festival and its 160 or so films still linger. Some of the festival’s 150 volunteers were still tallying ticket sales late Sunday, but festival director Mary Carbine said this year’s tally matched and possibly exceeded last year’s record of 24,000 tickets sold.
