Ann Arbor, March 19th, 2008 – The 46th Ann Arbor Film Festival, taking place March 25 – 30th,
is gearing up for a week-long showcase of cutting-edge, inspiring, visionary and timely
programs. More than 40 programs will showcase new work from filmmakers, performers and
artists from 20 countries this year.
Renown for avant-garde films that provoke, challenge and inspire audiences, the AAFF is once
again providing a strong offering. Pip Chodorov’s Faux Mouvements (Wrong Moves) makes its
U.S. premiere in the Cracking the Space/Time Continuum program of perception-shifting
experimental films. Sandra Gibson and Luis Recoder also strike light to celluloid with their
innovative live projector performance. On Sunday the festival presents Nathaniel Dorsky’s
sublime silent films with Devotional Songs.
This year’s festival will also feature special programs, exploring the earth and its colorful
inhabitants. Films from the Live Earth series address the climate change crisis and provides
inspiration for taking action. Jim Trainor presents The Animals and Their Limitations, a dark and
humorous program of his remarkable animated films. Debra Miller returns for another edition of
short films for “Out Night” at the AAFF with Queer Realities: Fact and Fiction!
Also slated for the festival are Mitch Levine of The Film Festival Group, Christopher Holland of
B-Side Entertainment, and Bob Alexander of IndiePix for an intensive short film distribution
panel titled Multiplying Eyes. The AAFF is also excited to have Chris Gore of Film Threat return
to host Flipping the Coin, a provocative panel about the battle over copyright and fair use rights
for filmmakers; panelists include Emily Berger of the Electronic Frontier Foundation. Exploring
the mind-bending side of this year’s time-based theme, film professor Dan Herbert will present a
lecture A Brief History of Time Travel in Cinema.
