We are proud to be a part of this year's Milwaukee Film Festival as a Community Partner. We are sponsoring the film, Advanced Style, which explores the fashion sense of 7 memorable women between ages 62-95. Fashion and creativity takes form at any age and we're excited to be showcasing this film!

And here's a little bit more about the film:
(USA / 2014 / Lina Plioplyte)
Following seven memorable women whose fashion sense is as advanced as their age, Lina Plioplyte captures these woment (with ages ranging from 62-95) in all of their eclectic glory. Each segment bursts with color and style to spare, capturing the independent spirit embodied by women who refuse to abide by our cultural standards of aging and beauty, remaining vital while challenging preconceived notions with each remarkable ensemble. Culled from New York street photographer Ari Seth Cohen's blog of the same name. Advanced Style is an exercise in self-expression, proving that growing old doesn't have to mean growing dull.

About the Milwaukee Film and the Festival:
Mission: Film can entertain, educate, and empower. It can bring change on levels both intimate and epic. And it's at its best as a communal viewing experience, with the best possible sound and projection. As a nonprofit cultural institution, Milwaukee Film has made it their mission to communicate all of this to the city they love, in a way that is both true and unique to Milwaukee.
Vision: To create a film festival in Milwaukee that is locally beloved, internationally acclaimed, and a true forum for Milwaukee Film's diverse community; to offer year-round education programs for all ages, teaching the role and power of film in the modern media landscape; to provide strategic support to filmmakers and projects; and to do our part to make better the city that has made them better.
