The Ann Arbor Film Festival and MOCAD present
Shadowbox Cinema III
Admission: Free
The Ann Arbor Film Festival (AAFF) and MOCAD present Shadowbox Cinema III, an annual showcase for new indie shorts from local, national, and international filmmakers. This short film festival is an original program curated by the AAFF and MOCAD which features amazing, hand-selected works submitted to the AAFF that did not fit into the festival's format. The films in Shadowbox Cinema span the cinematic spectrum, from animation and documentary to narrative and experimental, from light and irreverent to poignant and thoughtful. MOCAD is very excited to present this wonderful program for a third year.

"360" is a collaborative project bridging public spaces around the world. Each video is one minute long, panning 360 degrees through one view of public space. The videos are edited together and overlapped into one composition. Artists in Bosnia, Finland, Peru, Indonesia and the United States shot the videos during the same two week period in July. When first exhibited at the Duplex Gallery in Sarajevo the composition changed daily as new footage was added. The piece will be shown concurrently at the Transformer gallery in Washington DC
The following video artists collaborated on this project:
Mike Dax Iacovone
Billy Friebele
Kethryn Zazenski
Al Ghorie

Public Pool Opening - UnDress: Re Dress
3309 Caniff, Hamtramck
Undress: RE Dress - Opening on Saturday Nov 12 from 7-10
We’ll go out on a limb and guess you're wearing clothes right now, but we can’t be sure.
In any case, you’ve most likely worn clothes in the very recent past. Most times we just zip it up and get on with our day. Not today.
Public Pool has asked nine artists –– sculptors, painters, knitters, fashion designers, and the like –– to take a deeper look. To examine our relationship to our clothes…or maybe even your clothes.
We use clothes as a billboard, identity constructor or costume. We use them to turn ourselves into walking sculptors, business people, swimmers, provocateurs, bikers and more. Any way you slice it, clothes do much more than cover our bodies, if they manage to do that.
So, come see what the artists think. The results might make you wonder how something so simple, can really be pretty complicated. Or it just might make you feel naked. Either way it’s worth a trip.
And if you come to the opening night, it’s special, so please put dimes in your penny loafers.
UN-Dress:RE-Dress opens with a party November 12, 7-10 p.m. Refreshments provided courtesy of Traffic Jam & Snug Restaurant. The exhibition runs through December 17. Public Pool is open Saturdays from 1 to 6 p.m.
