WELCOME TO THE THIRD ANNUAL CINETOPIA FILM FESTIVAL!
Its with excitement and a great sense of anticipation that the Michigan Theater and Detroit Institute of Arts
will once again be a part of this ambitious five-day celebration of the artand joyof motion pictures. A true
world-class international film festival, Cinetopia was born three years ago thanks to the vision and tireless
efforts of the many dedicated staffers and programmers at Ann Arbors Michigan Theater.
Last year, for the first time, Cinetopia expanded its offerings to the DIA so that metro Detroiters could also
experience the festivals rich bounty of contemporary world cinemathe best films from the worlds best
festivalsallowing the DIAs year-round Detroit Film Theatre programming to be supplemented by an up-
to-the-minute, truly festive event designed to give area film lovers such a wide selection of films that every
visitor has the ability to virtually design their own personalized festival experience, one that can run from
Wednesday through Sunday, or for just a single day.
The ability to experiment, to experience the newest and most fiercely independent cinematic visions (as well
as a few overlooked classics) without preconceived notions as to what youre going to see is what provides
the electricity at any good film festival; what one leaves with is a sense of discovery, and to achieve that in the
most satisfying way invites total immersion. Plunging right inseeing many different kinds of films over the
course of a few days and discussing them with fellow film lovers and filmmakers over a drink or a between-
film mealis what makes a good festival far more than simply catching a movie.
A major new development this year is that Cinetopias expansion to Detroit doesnt only mean the DIA.
Other screening venues in the metro Detroit area include the College for Creative Studies, the Charles H. Wright
Museum of African American History, the Arab American National Museum and Cinema Detroit. Together with
Ann Arbors theaters, the good news for southeast Michigan movie lovers is that 110 screenings will take place
in 10 venues over the five days of Cinetopiaa far-reaching yet highly accessible cinematic tsunami.
None of this could happen without generous support, including this years Presenting Sponsors:
THE KNIGHT FOUNDATION, TOYOTA, MGM GRAND DETROIT, AT&T and MASCO CORPORATION
FOUNDATION. Wed be remiss in not thanking the DFTs year-round sponsor and friend, BUDDYS PIZZA,
as well as DETROIT PUBLIC TELEVISION and of course the Michigan Theater and DIAs extraordinary staff
and volunteers.
So, for the next five days, we hope that those of you with a cautious nature will consider setting it aside and
going to movies that are as yet un-hyped, that you havent seen previews for, and that you havent read reviews
of. In the months ahead, when friends ask if youve heard of that hot new movie thatll suddenly be all over the
media when it goes into commercial release, you can tell them, Of course Ive heard of it! I saw it at Cinetopia!

It is a privilege for me to welcome you to the 2014 Cinetopia International Film Festival. This is such a
great event a growing event and it is wonderful that you can be a part of it.
At AT&T, we are in the business of making connections. Connecting people with their friends, families,
jobs and schools through innovation and investment in the ways we communicate. Our partnership
with the Cinetopia International Film Festival is about connections, too. For a number of years now
as a presenting sponsor of the festival, we are excited to help connect people to art and some of the
brightest and most creative filmmakers anywhere in the world.
It has been amazing to watch how this festival has grown and reached out across southeast Michigan.
Starting, of course, in Ann Arbor, but now expanding through partnerships with the Detroit Institute
of Arts and the Charles H. Wright Museum of African American History to name only a few. With ten
great venues this year, the festival is fueling tourism for the region and engaging communities in a
truly unique festival experience.
Thank you to all who work to make this festival what it is each year. This event is a tribute to your
dedication and creativity, and it is a privilege to be a part of it again this year.
Enjoy the show and the 2014 Cinetopia International Film Festival!
