Our call for entries in the 48th Ann Arbor Film Festival is now open
for new work.
This past March the AAFF screened 125 films in the awards competition
and
provided $20,000 in awards - mostly cash. In 2009, more than half of
our films
exhibited were experimental and most were shorts under 40 minutes in
length.
The full program line-up from our recent 47th festival is here.
For anyone who's screened past work at the AAFF, we're reducing the
entry fee by 50%.
You'd need to submit through our PDF application (not withoutabox) and
write "alumni09"
on the form when you mail in with your entry.
Cheers,
-Donald
