2007 Ann Arbor Film Festival Tour

Beginning in May and continuing through January, the Ann Arbor Film Festival Tour is a collection of awarded films and highlights selected from the festival-week program. The AAFF Tour provides wider exposure for independent and experimental film and filmmakers, as well as offering a representative sampling of the current state of alternative cinema. It is for this reason that the Tour is an integral aspect of the festival. Notable participants in past tours have included Barbara Hammer, Jules Engel, Emily Hubley, Ross McLaren, Paul Winkler, Sally Cruikshank, James Duesing, Jay Rosenblatt, and Gus Van Sant.

The tour provides filmmakers the unique opportunity of having their work screened in front of audiences for whom, in some places, the tour venue is their only access to this form of film art. The work of independent and experimental filmmakers is brought to thousands of new viewers each year.
