MADISON, Wis. -- The 12th annual Wisconsin Film Festival is under way, and film lovers have through Sunday to take in all the viewing options.

Some 192 films are scheduled over five days at the Wisconsin Film Festival in Madison.

There are films from around the world, movies made in Wisconsin and documentaries, including "Svetlana About Svetlana." It's the story of Soviet dictator Josef Stalin's only daughter who has lived in small towns in Wisconsin.

The documentary is based an interview in the summer of 2007, when a determined filmmaker tracked her down at a retirement home in an undisclosed Wisconsin town. The documentary will be shown on Sunday.

Films will play at eight venues in downtown Madison. Although unlike last year, the Bartell Theatre and Majestic Theatre aren't festival venues. The movie times on Wednesday and Thursday evening also don't run as late into night.

Tickets for films are $7 or $4 for students and can be purchased at the venue's ticket window on the day that the film is playing.

The opening night film, which traditionally plays Thursday night, was "The Topp Twins: Untouchable Girls," a documentary from New Zealand.

There was a special screening of the 2004 film "Collateral," starring Jamie Foxx and Tom Cruise and directed by UW–Madison alumnus Michael Mann ("Public Enemies"). Manohla Dargis, co-chief film critic of The New York Times, was at the screening and discussed the film with the audience.

The festival is also showing South Korean director Bong Joon-ho's four feature films in a special series called, "Crime Scene: Four Films by Bong Joon-ho." His 2006 international breakthrough film, "The Host," was a hit with critics and audiences alike, and his new film, "Mother," will play as one of the final films of the festival on Sunday evening.

The "Wisconsin's Own" series at the festival appears especially strong this year, with films such as "Baraboo," Mary Sweeney's feature debut, "Feed the Fish," which stars Green Bay native Tony Shaloub and was filmed in Door County, "NONAMES," which was filmed entirely in central Wisconsin, and documentaries such as "Paddle to Seattle: Journey Through the Inside Passage," and "Feat: 63 Marathons in 63 Days."

Also in the "Wisconsin's Own" series is a film directed by Green Bay-native Fritz Manger. "Re-cut" stars Meredith Phillips, from ABC's "The Bachelorette" and Jeff Kober, who had a small part in "LOST." It will have its world premiere Saturday.
