Madison, WI – Due to popular demand for “in-person” box offices selling tickets to the 2023 Wisconsin Film Festival (April 13-20, 2023), the organization has added in-person box office hours to Wisconsin Film Festival Hilldale and will also be part of a pop-up hosted by Leopold’s Books Bar Caffè.

Leopold’s, a Community Partner of the 2023 Festival, also invites ticket purchasers to buy books, cocktails and coffee and mingle with fellow cinephiles. A credit or debit card is required for ticket purchases. Wisconsin Film Festival staff will be present to process ticketing transactions and answer questions.
