Weyauwega, Wisconsin – USA
November 8 to 11, 2012

The 2nd Annual WEYAUWEGA INTERNATIONAL FILM FESTIVAL (WIFF) invites you to picturesque Weyauwega, Wisconsin for a celebration of original and personal filmmaking. Hosted in the breathtaking Gerold Opera House, WIFF welcomes a diverse array of films that each celebrate the independent voice of the filmmaker and take audiences off the beaten path.

WIFF is pleased to provide housing and transportation to visiting filmmakers during their stay in Weyauwega. In addition to receiving festival passes, selected filmmakers will take part in discussion groups, be recognized at the WIFF grand finale party, and will be invited to participate in interviews with press. WIFF will also host a young filmmaker’s workshop during the festival; participants will receive hands-on experience and gain knowledge from working filmmakers.

Cash prizes will be awarded to the top films in categories including Narrative Feature ($250 USD), Narrative Short ($100), Documentary Feature ($250), and Documentary Short ($100). Films lauded at last year’s festival featured such stars as James Gandolfini (“The Sopranos”) and Tony Shalhoub (“Monk”). ED GEIN: THE MUSICAL, now touring the United States, was a highlight of the inaugural program.
