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.
Tour Program
The tour program is not categorized or theme-related. Each program is a unique mix of content and genre. Income from the tour directly benefits participating filmmakers. A rental fee of $1.50/per minute/per tour stop is paid to each filmmaker for use of their film. Click here to see the program

What a great web log. I spend hours on the net reading blogs, about tons of various subjects. I have to first of all give praise to whoever created your theme and second of all to you for writing what i can only describe as an fabulous article. I honestly believe there is a skill to writing articles that only very few posses and honestly you got it. The combining of demonstrative and upper-class content is by all odds super rare with the astronomic amount of blogs on the cyberspace.
