Summerfest Crossover

DREAMLAND By Mirai Mizue

With Memorial Day approaching, Ann Arbor is gearing up for the true marker of summer in the city, Summerfest. In case you needed any extra push or excuse to go out and enjoy the monthlong festival, there will be three opportunities to catch short films from the 57th AAFF throughout June and July. Each short experimental AAFF film will precede the main feature film showing at 10:00 p.m. on Thursday nights during Summerfest. Films are screened at Summerfest's Top of the Park venue (915 East Washington Street).

Come see...

Code Ruth (2018) by Caroline Voagen Nelson on Thursday, June 20

A true love story about a Morse code instructor finding her path during WWII, Code Ruth blends stop-motion techniques with archival materials to share a family’s history of connecting through technology. (4 minutes)

DREAMLAND (2018) by Mirai Mizue on Thursday, June 27

Dreamland will never be completed. It will continue to grow as long as there is imagination left in the world. (5 minutes)

Clean Slate (2018) by David Opdyke on Thursday, July 4

A peaceful sky is under threat from new arrivals who will stop at nothing and want everything. When all seems lost, a band of survivors changes the rules and attempts a daring escape. Are they willing to do what is necessary to win their freedom? (3 minutes)

We are so thrilled to be a part of Summerfest, where you can enjoy the excitement of the AAFF in the warmer months with the support of the local community. Come out and and enjoy some experimental films as part of your summer fun!
