    The Milwaukee LGBT Film/Video Festival presents "Wildness." (Wu Tsang, in English and Spanish with English subtitles, 73min., 2011) Artist Wu Tsang in person! "Wildness" is a documentary portrait of the Silver Platter, a historic Los Angeles bar/haven for Latin/LGBT immigrant communities since 1963, and a chronicle of what happens when a group of young artists (director Tsang among them) stage a weekly performance/dance party there. A portrait both lovely and wistful, the bar itself serves as a narrator. Wildness is also a spirited investigation/memoir/manifesto about the struggles of making a space queer and of claiming a space you can understand as safe. The celebrated artist Wu Tsang (Whitney Biennial 2012; 2012 New Museum Triennial) has made a heartfelt, engaging, and provocative work about cross-generational queer alliances; transphobia and trans activism; migration and exile; finding a space of your own and creating platforms for others. Co-sponsored by Milwaukee Institute of Art and Design and Green Gallery.
