A roundup of some excellent art that’s largely absent from the festival itself.
One of the few sad things about the Wisconsin Film Festival is that the art of movie posters gets lost in the shuffle.

In hopes of making up for it just a little bit, consider our 16 favorite posters for Wisconsin Film Festival 2017 feature selections.
