MOVIES: Independent, experimental films land in Buffalo
By Phil Dzikiy
One of the longest-running film festivals in North America is making a one-night stop in Buffalo.
The Ann Arbor Film Festival — a stronghold for independent and experimental short films — comes to Squeaky Wheel on Friday night.
The 110-minute program features 14 short films, including documentaries, experimental and animated works. Award winners are also in the mix, such as Daniel Robin’s “My Olympic Summer,” Catherine Chalmers’ “Safari” and Leighton Pierce’s “Number One.” The films won awards at Sundance, South by Southwest and the Black Maria Film Festival, respectively.
This is the first time Squeaky Wheel will host the festival, according to program assistant Jax Deluca.
“We’re just really excited about showing it,” Deluca said. “It seems like people are really interested in it.”
The longest film at the festival is Robert Todd’s “Office Suite,” an experimental film that clocks in at 14 minutes. “Office Suite” won the award for best experimental short film at the Ann Arbor festival last year.
Deluca has already seen most of the festival’s films. Viewers should expect just about anything during the festival, with the exception of boredom.
“Oh my God, it’s really great,” she said. “It’s not bland.”
