Pride Month Spotlight: LGBTQ Film Festival

The first annual Milwaukee Gay and Lesbian Film Festival was organized by the Lavender Commitment, a student organization at UWM, in January 1983! While gay and lesbian films were screened by the Student Union in 1971, the ‘83 festival was the first annual event. From 1983-1988 the Lavender Commitment organized the festival.

In 1992, Great Lakes Film & Video (GLFV) and the Cream City Foundation began their own LGBT film and video series. This program ran annually till 1996. In 1996, GLFV programming joined with UWM’s School of Fine arts bringing the festival back home to UWM. 

The LGBT Film/Video Festival continued through 2017. For more information on the festival including original brochures and posters, check out the UWM Student Union Collection, 1948-2015, Box 6 and Box 43 Folders 6-16.

The University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee’s (UWM) chancellor has apologized to the Jewish community for reaching an agreement with an anti-Zionist group which ended a “Gaza encampment” in exchange for the school’s issuing a statement calling for a ceasefire in Israel’s war against Hamas and considering an academic boycott of Israel.

“It is clear to me that UWM should not have weighed in on deeply complex geopolitical and historical issues,” UWM chancellor Mark Mone said on Tuesday. “And for that, I apologize. I acknowledge that it is an increasingly difficult time for many Jewish students at UWM and across America.”

He added, “Let me be clear: UWM resolutely condemns antisemitism, just as we do Islamophobia and all other forms of hatred. Our campus must be a place that welcomes all students and the full expression their history, culture, identity, and ethnicity. But words alone cannot create the culture of inclusion we desire, which is why we must transform our words into commitment and action. This work will take time, as all hard work does, and it will also take the openness of our entire community.”

Mone did not say whether he intends to honor the deal he brokered with Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP), a group that has been linked to terrorist organizations and is a source of a substantial number of antisemitic incidents on college campuses. In addition to agreeing to call for a ceasefire in Gaza, on May 12, he issued a statement describing Israel’s war to destroy the Hamas terrorist group in Gaza as “genocide,” citing figures reported by Hamas-controlled authorities which have been lambasted by experts as unreliable. The deal also stipulates UWM’s reviewing “its study abroad policies” and pressuring a local environmental organization to cut ties with two Israeli companies, which Mone has already done.

“University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee Chancellor Mark Mone capitulated to protesters who violated UWM codes of conduct and state law, vandalized university property, and used harassment and intimidation to fuel antisemitism on campus,” the Milwaukee Jewish Federation, Hillel Milwaukee, and the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) said about the deal in a joint statement. “The agreement is amongst the most offensive and dangerous of any university agreement reached with encampment protesters over the last two weeks.”

Mone is not the only university leader accused of injuring Jewish university life to appease anti-Zionist protesters.

For an institution whose main selling point is that education enables people to succeed regardless of background, UW Milwaukee doesn't seem bothered about removing educational resources from rural areas.

I usually don’t post about the Israeli genocide of Palestinians on my main account, but my university recently came to peaceful terms with a protest group that made an encampment on the edge of campus.

The encampment was peaceful, and so were all counterprotests. However, it’s against state law to camp out on campus, and UWM could not afford to keep their police monitoring the protest to maintain the safety of those involved.

Yesterday they released this letter.

I’ll provide a link to the original PDF.

I’m not an expert on the situation, but I thought UWM handled things very well given what they can and can’t reasonably do.

I’d like to know what others who are more educated on the subject think.

We are on day 2 of occupying the UWM campus until our demands are met!

The UWM encampment is still going strong. Today there will be a teach-in at 2:30PM, a press-conference at 3:30PM, speeches at 4:30PM, another teach-in at 7:00PM, and tatreez & henna at 9:00PM.

With hundreds of students and community members gathering in solidarity, we are filled with determination, love, and courage to keep pushing onward. Help us build this community! Bring your friends, family, and comrades! ♥️

Our demands are clear:

- UWM must disclose all financial records! - UWM must cease all business with any organization or corporation that profits from, or supports the occupation of Palestine! - UWM must cease all collaboration with educational institutions in occupied Palestine! - UWM must release a public statement condemning the ongoing genocide of Palestinians by the apartheid state of Israel - a regime responsible for the slaughter of over 34,000 civilians and the obliteration of every single university in Gaza!

We will stay put until the university meets our demands.
