Forty six years ago, the Ann Arbor Film Festival was one of the first (download 8 minute iPod compatible video, 42MB). Now, with over 2,000 film festivals in North America alone, it must define its niche, and it is doing so successfully. In 2007, Variety Magazine noted The Ann Arbor Film Festival as one of its top ten.

As Donald Harrison, the Director of Community Development, notes, the Ann Arbor Film Festival has successfully defined itself as a venue for the most creative film makers.
