62nd Ann Arbor Film Festival
The upcoming festival will take place in 2024 during March 26th through March 31st in-person and March 26th through April 7th online. The festival received 2,971 films from 91 countries to be considered for the 62nd festival. It will feature hundreds of films, videos, and live performances as part of some 40 programs over a six-day period. The festival also offers panels, discussions, live question and answer sessions with filmmakers as well as interactive presentations to deepen audience engagement with film art.
61st Annual Film Festival Tour
The Ann Arbor Film Festival's 61st season had 6,600 in-person attendees and 2,200 online attendees from 33 countries and 29 states!
The tour provides filmmakers the unique opportunity of having their work screened in front of audiences for whom, in many places, the tour venue is their only access to this form of film art. Each filmmaker participating in the AAFF tour is also paid for each tour stop, thereby helping to directly support their filmmaking.
The Ann Arbor Film Festival is a pioneer of the traveling film festival tour which launched in 1964 with film screenings in Paris, Los Angeles, and Berkeley. Since that time, the AAFF tour has presented hundreds of influential works by film artists including Barbara Hammer, Gus Van Sant, Sally Cruikshank, Don Hertzfeldt, Bill Brown, Ross McLaren, Paul Winkler, James Duesing, Martha Colburn, and Jay Rosenblatt.

- We disaggregate data to adjust programming goals to keep pace with changing needs of the communities we support.
- We employ non-traditional ways of gathering feedback on programs and trainings, which may include interviews, roundtables, and external reviews with/by community stakeholders.
- We have long-term strategic plans and measurable goals for creating a culture such that one’s race identity has no influence on how they fare within the organization.
- We seek individuals from various race backgrounds for board and executive director/CEO positions within our organization.
- We have community representation at the board level, either on the board itself or through a community advisory board.
