The Milwaukee Film Festival kicks off Thursday, bringing a wide swath of indie and international films to the screens of Fox Bay Cinema & Grill in Whitefish Bay.

Here's the full schedule to the Milwaukee Film Festival. If you don't want to drive to the East Side, here are the films playing at Fox Bay Cinema.

Whitefish Bay filmmaker Laj P. Waghray's documentary Sleepover will play at 4:15 p.m. Oct. 7 at Fox Bay and at 7:45 p.m. Oct. 10 at The Oriental.

To see the creative talents of Milwaukee filmmakers, check out The Milwaukee Show at 7 p.m. Thursday at The Oriental. The Milwaukee Show includes The Vampire Formerly Known as Dracula, which was directed by Nicolet graduate Nathaniel Schardin and partly shot outside Fox Bay Cinema in July.

A number of directors, producers and other industry professionals will appear at the film festival screenings, including those held at Fox Bay Cinema.
