In conjunction with the opening night of the 50th Ann Arbor Film Festival, I wrote a piece last night on my Examiner.com page about the University of Michigan's ongoing involvement with this peerless celebration of independent and experimental film. Please check out the article, and then make plans to attend AAFF, which I've always found a riveting experience. In the spirit of full disclosure, I need to point out that my wife is a photographer at the event for the second straight year.
To learn more about the festival, read a post from earlier this month and an interview I conducted with AAFF Executive Director, Donald Harrison (pictured left), in 2009.
