Fluttering by\, attention pulls focus from the movement of the cloud\, to the movement of the wind\, to the movement of the eye\, to the movement of the mind\, without ever moving an inch. All the while\, we’re watching seeing\, or observing looking\, or something like that. A program of short works that explore place\, space and the weather\, in all its sublime\, mundane and chaotic glory.  \n\n\n\nExperimental Tuesdays is a free public series featuring celebrated work of contemporary and historical artist-made film and video. This weekly series presents films and artists that explore the creative and critical potential of moving images. It also amplifies marginalized voices by hosting artists that represent diverse populations\, such as LGBT\, Native American\, Black and Latinx artists. Hosted by the Department of Film\, Video\, Animation & New Genres\, and presented in partnership with 51’s Union Cinema\, this series is a bedrock of the Milwaukee arts landscape. Recent screenings include Silvia das Fadas\, Courtney Stephens\, Simon Liu\, Helena Wittman\, Jessica Bardsley\, Suneil Sanzgiri\, Mary Helena Clark\, Angelo Madsen Minax\, and Rhayne Vermette to name a few.

Local monuments to past tornadoes intertwine with mythologies of settlement and displacement. An amateur storm chaser questions his own agency and fate. The CEO of a Wizard of Oz-themed storm shelter company describes a growing market in a world of increasing weather uncertainty. Unfolding episodically\, questions of memory\, inequality\, colonization\, climate change\, and disaster capitalism arise as the film examines legacies of weather within the region colloquially known as “tornado alley.” \nCurtis Miller is a filmmaker and artist based in Chicago\, IL. His work often takes the American Midwest as both site and subject. His films have screened internationally at Visions du Réel\, IDFA\, DMZ Docs\, Glasgow Short Film Festival\, Alchemy Film and Moving Image Festival\, Antimatter\, EXiS\, and the Chicago International Film Festival\, as well as the Hyde Park Arts Center\, Gallery 400\, and the Renaissance Society\, among others.

Attendees will examine how nonfiction stories can amplify marginalized voices\, engage local communities\, and move audiences toward awareness and action. Through case studies and practical discussion\, the workshop addresses ethical storytelling\, relationship-building with participants\, and strategies for designing films with impact beyond the screen—equipping emerging filmmakers to tell responsible\, community-centered stories that matter. \nOur guest\, Eric Kleppe-Montenegro is interested in challenging dominant narratives about marginalized communities and highlighting change-makers through storytelling. Growing up as a Colombian-American helped him understand the damage of pervasive stereotypes commonly reproduced in film and television. He also recognizes the true beauty that is left out of narrow perspectives\, a beauty which should be celebrated. Eric is passionate about creating impactful art that uplifts and inspires viewers. This passion led him to documenting social justice movements for the last decade\, specifically within the immigrant rights movement\, and allowed him to collaborate with creatives across lines of difference. \nSpecial Features is an art and film focused professional development workshop series curated by the Film\, Video\, Animation & New Genres department at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee. \n \n \n\nTickets are not required for this FREE event.
