The Making It Home film festivals will be held in Baraboo, Dodgeville, Milwaukee, and the Chequamegon Bay region (Ashland/Bayfield) in the early spring of 2010. The festivals kick off during Aldo Leopold Days in Baraboo and close during Earth Day weekend in Ashland.

The Making it Home film festival hosts and the WHC are working together to design four weekends of events that reflect the people and spirit of Wisconsin, as well as the unique landscapes of the regional festival sites. Each Making it Home film festival will be unique, with films selected from the 2009 Tales from Planet Earth Environmental Film Festival. The films have not yet been chosen for the Making it Home festivals, but a list and description of the selection can be found by clicking here.

You are part of Making Wisconsin Home! The Making It Home film festival events invite everyone to come together, enjoy some great films, be entertained, and then pause for a few minutes together to take another look at the questions raised in the films. What issues resonate? Do they have relevance to what's going on here and now where we live?

In conversations after watching the Making it Home films, we will talk about what it is that defines our homes and communities - both the cultural and historical ties that bind us together and the environmental and social justice challenges that we face.
