STOP IN THE NAME OF TIME

by Megan O'Neil

The Ann Arbor Film Festival takes its 47th annual show on the road, conducting screenings at universities, galleries and art house cinemas across the country, including this stop in Detroit's Midtown. AAFF director Donald Harrison will be in attendance at the screening, which features seven short films by both local and international filmmakers, including the winner of the Best Michigan Film award, A City to Yourself, which examines the positives of living in postindustrial Detroit, and the winner of the Funniest Film award, Video Terraform Dance Party (we'll let the title speak for itself). The festival visit is held in conjunction with the exhibit Time, which explores works delivered in time (such as films, see the connection?) and includes pieces by artists such as Frank Pahl, Elona Van Gent and Jim Nawara, as well as the Mindstream Animation Station, which allows visitors to create their own stop-motion animation. Groovy! From 7 to 9 p.m. at Work • Detroit, 3663 Woodward Ave., Detroit; 313-593-0940. Another screening event takes place on Nov. 17, featuring films from and about Palestine; see art-design.umich.edu for info.
