Ann Arbor Film Festival: it's a wrap

The 46th Ann Arbor Film Festival shone brightly last week with record attendance. Filmmakers descended on Ann Arbor from around the world, including Juan Camilo Gonzalez from Columbia premiering his animated film Los Tres Errantes, Jaehyung Ju from South Korea with his gorgeous experimental film Lucid Dreaming, and Maverick Litchfield-Kelly, producer of the suspenseful "i", visiting the U.S. for the first time from London, England. During his trip, Maverick posted his first blog ever - here's some of this thoughts on his Ann Arbor experience:
"I am sitting at home in London, musing on the festival. I think it was a great introduction to US festivals and US culture. Ann Arbor was described to me as a pocket of sanity in the midwest. I thought it was a lovely town, full of lovely quirky people....What did I learn? I learned about the MC5s, and their history in Ann Arbor history. I also found out that Iggy Pop came from Ann Arbor. I also learned about the depth of love people felt for the Ann Arbor Film Festival, the oldest festival of its kind in the US, which this year celebrated it 46th year."
