UW-Parkside Foreign Film Series
Dear Patrons,
The 2011-2012 season is the 30th anniversary of the UW-P Foreign Film Series!
When we created the series in 1982, we did not imagine that it would be as successful as it has become—but our first season offered a clue. We sold out our first season, consisting of just two showings per film, Thursday and Saturday. As word spread about the series our patronage grew, so that today we boast a large and loyal following of southeast Wisconsin cinephiles, and we believe we have made a significant contribution to the vitality of arts and entertainment in Kenosha and Racine.
The “what our patrons are saying” feature you see to the right contains comments from our patrons who were asked to give us input on what our program has meant to them. A new comment appears each time the page is refreshed.
In celebration of our 30th anniversary we are reaching back into the film vaults to offer three bonus films from master directors who have helped define international cinema for American audiences: Kurosawa, De Sica, and Bergman.
As an entertainment value, the UW-Parkside Foreign Film Series remains a bargain that cannot be beat! For less than $1.50 per film, our patrons have six show time options, including a liberal switching policy; 3 free guest passes; and full-length reviews.
Order your season tickets as soon as possible! Our most popular show times, Thursday 7:30 p.m., Friday 7:30 p.m., and Saturday 8:00 p.m. have sold out for a number of years running. See the left hand links for ordering options.
We deeply appreciate the support we have received from the community and we would like to thank all our patrons who have helped make the UW-Parkside Foreign Film Series such an enduring success—thank you!
See you at the movies!

What our patrons are saying:
When I lived in Denver, CO there was a wonderful theatre there that showed mostly foreign films. When I moved here I found out that I would have to go to Milwaukee to see a foreign film. Well, I was disappointed because I grew to love foreign films while living in Denver and rarely went to see any other films. Then I heard about you FFS! Well, you can imagine how happy I became and how much your series means to me! I have so enjoyed your films over the past 4-5 years! Please do not ever go away! Thank You
