First United Methodist Church is one of Tales from Planet Earth's community partners. They graciously hosted a screening of The Hunger Season last fall that served as the film's sneak-peek world premiere. The event was so successful that we are bringing the film back and FUMC has again agreed to graciously host the screening. A list of nearby parking options is available here.

The Cinematheque is a coalition of UW-Madison academic departments and student film groups dedicated to showcasing films that would otherwise never reach Madison screens. As the screening facility of the Wisconsin Center for Film and Theater Research (WCFTR), a member of the International Federation of Film Archives (FIAF), the Cinematheque regularly showcases archival and other rare prints from around the world. The Cinematheque has one of the finest projection facilities in Wisconsin and screens a variety of formats, including 35mm and 16mm (both on reel-to-reel projection systems), BetaSP, DVD, DVCam, and VHS.

The 150-seat Cinematheque theater is located immediately South and East of the intersection of Park Street and University Avenue. Room 4070, also known as the Parliamentary Room, is in the center of the open fourth-floor plaza of Vilas Hall and is accessible from the Park Street stairs and elevator, the footbridge connecting Vilas Hall to the Humanities Building, and the stairs on University Avenue and facing the University Square project (at the moment a big construction site). If approaching the building from Park Street, take steps or ramp to the 3rd-floor main entrance and then either the outdoor staircase or the indoor elevator to the fourth floor (this last is the recommended route for wheelchairs). If approaching from the East, take the staircases next to the Hemsley/Mitchell Theaters or the stairs on University Avenue to the fourth floor.

Several major bus lines stop right next to the building. Nearby parking is limited. Information about bus and parking options can be found here.
