Rex Sikes' Movie Beat

Join Ian Teal co-director of The Weyauwega International Film Festival will be returning November 11-14 to the Gerold Opera House in Weyauwega, WI for it’s fifth year of films from around the globe. This year the festival presented by Wega Arts will be screening forty-three films representing seventeen different countries. Many of the films were either made in Wisconsin or have Wisconsin connections. This year Friday at the festival happens to fall on the 13th of the month which of course invites an opportunity to screen horror films. The Weyauwega International Film Festival (WIFF) has seized this opportunity to satisfy the horror hounds in Central Wisconsin and will be screening horror films and thrillers all day on Friday the 13th in what they are calling a “Friday the 13th Fright Fest”.  Of course WIFF is not all about horror films. Some great feature films and documentaries as well as a wide variety of short films will be screened this year. Saturday starts with a filmmaker seminar with local filmma
