It's the 51st annual Ann Arbor Film Festival (the oldest independent film fest in the U.S.) and over its six day run it will present more than 200 experimental and indie shorts and features. Chances are this will be your only chance to see many of these films. PBS documentarian star Ken Burns brings his latest, The Central Park 5, to the festival and will be on hand afterward to answer questions.
Excerpt:
"Acclaimed documentarian (and former Ann Arborite) Ken Burns will appear at 5:10 p.m. March 21 as part of the Penny W. Stamps lecture series. A showing of his latest work, "The Central Park 5," about a heavily publicized 1989 rape case in New York, will take place at noon March 23; Burns is set to attend."
The festival runs through Sunday, Mar. 24. You can learn more about screenings, tickets, and events
