Cinematic Sisterhood: Dreams in Nightmares

After an abrupt layoff, Z embarks on a trip across the Midwestern United States in search of a friend who has seemingly disappeared off the grid. Traveling with her two closest friends, these three queer black femmes find their priorities tested as shapeshifting threats in each city expose (inter)personal and ideological fractures.

Director Shatara Michelle Ford will join a post-screening Q&A in conversation with local filmmaker and poet Dasha Kelly.

In 2025, we awarded a special grant to Milwaukee Film to create Cinematic Sisterhood, a monthly series of films that celebrate women’s voices on and off the screen. Milwaukee Film has since secured additional support to carry it forward, and we’re proud to continue as a promotional partner.
