Best Local Film Festival
Ann Arbor Film Festival; Various locations, Ann Arbor; 734-995-5356; aafilmfest.org
Though film festivals such as Sundance have become virtual farm-team feeding systems for Hollywood and — to a degree — have codified “indie film” as an aesthetic, there’s the contrasting example of the Ann Arbor Film Festival. MT’s film critic Corey Hall once summed up the event as such: “Ann Arbor maintains essentially the same vision it began with: serving as a showcase for eclectic, independent, experimental and utterly uncompromised works of art.”
