	Indie film alive in Ann Arbor (Metro Times Detroit) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		Festival director Chrisstina Hamilton and managing assistant director Carrie Cecchini, with the help of an army of paid and volunteer staff, have put together a weeklong program of films that put to shame those “brave” and “courageous” poseurs in La-La Land.
		These are films that may never achieve the level of attention that a Sean Penn cry-fest can bring, but their “brave” and “courageous” mission is not one that merely considers box office receipts.
		This film tells the story of two stuntwomen, one who worked on the TV show, “Xena: Warrior Princess,” and one who worked on ’70s cult fave, “Wonder Woman.” It’s a behind-the-scenes exploration of not only the fine art of stunt doubling, but also the perils of being female in such a male-dominated profession.

		There are two types of film which I have come to associate with the festival (though of course many films in the festival fit neither category): wacky, abstract, bewildering “experimental,” and well-meaning, socially concerned documentaries.
		I was drawn to films in the festival made by and about women to counter the effect of these non-narratives, which seem so masculine in their tendency to talk at rather than with you.
		In the film Rice introduces us to Miranda Pitts, 17, one of the three Pitts’ sisters in the film, who because of her love of surfing, is apprenticing with Rice’s husband in the art of surfboard shaping.

		The Ann Arbor Experimental Film Festival was begun in that Michigan city as an attempt to end-run the New York cultural monopoly.
		The lean times for experimental film are also reflected in the notes for the board of director's welcome to the festival: "An Arbor Film Coop Award of $500 is being sponsored by members of the now-defunct campus film society."
		What made me sit up and take notice was Ann Arbor director Dan Tice's homage to Godard in a series of rapid pans between the angst-ridden hero and the female house mate he once, and maybe still, yearns for.

		With so many film festivals these days, it is more than remarkable to have an established festival maintain high standards and a commitment to experimental, animated, documentary, and narrative films from around the world.
		The 18 films, grouped into four programs of an hour each, encompass a remarkable diversity of styles, subject matter, and countries--Austria to Australia, Canada and the U.S. Running times range from one and one half to 40 minutes.
		Perhaps because the short films make their points so quickly and well, the longer works seem repetitive and sluggish.
