Not sure what to expect?
When our sister publication, Current Magazine, asked the Ann Arbor Film Festival’s Executive Director Leslie Raymond what to expect, she said:
“I like to describe [going to our film festival movie theaters] as a situation where you think you’re walking into a room, where you expect everyone to speak English, but instead everyone is speaking Chinese. So you’re like ‘Whoa! I thought everyone would be speaking the same language and I don’t understand anybody.’
But you know what happens when you go to a foreign country and you don’t speak the language? You actually can communicate way more than you would think. There are so many other ways to communicate besides words. Instead of thinking of it as going to the movie theater, pretend that you are going to the art museum.”

Join us for the AAFF Digital Tour and get a taste of the
critically acclaimed film festival.
