| Saturday, April 28, 7pm, $2 Woodland Pattern Experimental Film/Video Series Presented by the UWM Department of Film ProjectorTalk (Ages 6 & Up): Live film performances by Grant Wiedenfeld Grant Wiedenfeld in person! ProjectorTalk: A projector speaks her images onscreen, and a poet’s voice offscreen talks to her, with her, when she listens in the dark. This unique mode of performance plays with a purring machine in place of a stage, and speaks to the lyric child at heart, on sleeves, or climbing in the trees. A native of Des Moines, Iowa, Grant Wiedenfeld is an MFA candidate (nearly graduated!) at UW-Milwaukee. His films have screened at Media City Film Festival, the London Film Festival, and TIE, The International Experimental Cinema Exposition.
