What Is WUD Film?

The Wisconsin Union Directorate Film Committee is a student-run organization dedicated to bringing a diverse, innovative, and exciting lineup of movies to the University of Wisconsin – Madison campus and surrounding community.

Our active committee members help program, advertise, and host hundreds of free film screenings each year in Union South’s state-of-the-art Marquee Theater.

WUD Film strives to maintain a diverse programming lineup consisting of contemporary Hollywood blockbusters, independent, international, and documentary film, as well as late night cult favorites. In addition, the committee organizes a summer Lakeside Cinema series on the Memorial Union Terrace.

How Do I Join the Committee?

Students of all majors and levels of interest in film are welcome to join the WUD Film Committee - the only membership requirement is a love for movies.

WUD Film Committee Meetings are held 7-8pm on Mondays during the academic year. 

We meet at Union South, so check the TITU (Today in the Union) listing for room location each week.  Contact film@union.wisc.edu for more information on how to join the committee!

All free events sponsored by WUD Film Committee are intended for UW-Madison students, faculty, staff and Union members and guests.
