The new Freep Film Festival will showcase Detroit and its metros in spring 2014.
Excerpt:
"Detroit may be ailing, but a new film festival there intends to give it a good dose of positive attention. The Freep Film Festival, presented by the Detroit Free Press and the Detroit Media Partnership, which manages the newspaper’s business operations, will screen around a dozen documentaries in four days, all of which focus on Detroit and its surrounding regions.
Themes range from the city’s industrial wastelands to Michigan’s abundance of new craft breweries to the city’s music history, from Motown to the birth of techno pop raves...
The festival also intends to get community leaders and urban planners involved, with a series of post-film discussions with filmmakers."
