Looking for a great lineup of notable new features, short films, and documentaries? Check out the Cinetopia International Film Festival, from June 3-12. The event, created for the people of Southeast Michigan, brings together the best screenings that film festivals have to offer.

The festival starts on Friday, June 3. Screenings will take place at venues in multiple locations, including Detroit, Ann Arbor, Bloomfield, and Dearborn. Cinetopia features screenings of many films from renowned international film festivals like Sundance, Cannes, Tribeca, Berlin, Venice, and South by Southwest. Several screening events will take place in the Detroit Film Theatre auditorium as well as the Marvin and Betty Danto Lecture Hall on June 3, 4, and 5.

Tickets are available for purchase online. For a single ticket (entry to one specific screening), the general public can expect to pay $12. Members of the Arab American National Museum, Cinema Detroit, Charles H.W. Wright Museum of African American History, Detroit Institute of Arts, The Henry Ford, or The Michigan Theater will only pay $9 for a single ticket. For more information on ticket prices, click here.

An opening night screening will take place on June 3 at 9:30 p.m. on the lawn of the Detroit Institute of Arts. The movie shown will be “Only Yesterday (Omohide poro poro)”, an anime feature rated PG. The event is free, so take the kids with you if you plan to attend.

Another free event is the Detroit Voices Short Film Competition, which will be held at the Detroit Film Theatre (5200 Woodward Ave) on Saturday, June 4 at 3:30 p.m. For a full schedule of events, click here.

Some of the movies you may want to check out during the festival include
