Stranded
at The Corner : The Battle to save historic Tiger Stadium
This highly acclaimed production
(3 Telly Awards, 11 Emmy nominations) tells
the story of baseball's oldest field and the backstage
maneuvering that led to its abandonment.
train
station
The last train left the
station on Jan. 6, 1988. The building has sat "vacant"
since then. Shot in 1998, produced in 2004, (access to
the building is completely closed now) this documentary
weaves personal memories with stunning visuals of Detroit's
long abandoned Michigan Central Train Depot. The historic
gem, another in a number of Detroit structures in ruin,
was designed by Warren & Wetmore; the same architectural
firm that built Grand Central Station. Various visitors
wander in and out of the station, each stopping to recount
what the building has meant to them. Catfish; the homeless
person who became the unofficial caretaker for over 2
years, Hazel Love; whose father worked for the railroad
for over 40 years, and Jim Harlow who, fascinated by trains,
worked as a dispatcher at the station, among others.
Fresh from its recent world premiere at the Detroit Docs
International Film Festival.

Borderline:
The Story of 8 Mile Road
This program captures the spirit
and eccentricity of metro Detroit's most provocative thoroughfare.
No other
road in Michigan evokes a response like the one you
get when you mention 8 Mile. From topless dancers and
the neighborhood groups that battle them, to storefront
preachers and the homeless people they minister, 8 Mile
remains our areas most notorious boundary.
Thoughtful
commentary from Jerry Herron, Director of American Studies,
and Ronald Stephens; associate Professor of Communication
(both from Wayne State University) provide context and
analysis. The documentary also features an interview
with Mr. Belvedere (his office is on 8 Mile) as well
as clips from some of his classic commercials. Part
history, part pop culture, this film like a ride down
8 mile, is both thought provoking and entertaining.

The Hudson's
Building  This
insightful documentary combines the preservation vs.
demolition debate, with the social and cultural impact
of the much loved 106 year old former department store.
Hudson's employee and customer interviews
are featured, as well as dozens of historic photos and
home movie footage. Interviews with developers, city
planners, preservationists and city council provide
an active dialog regarding not only the issue of redevelopment
vs. demolition, but also how such decisions are rendered.
Since its closing in 1983, and demolition
in 1998, the Hudson's building had come to represent
both Detroit's historic past and its potential future.
Like no other structure, it sat at the center of all
plans concerning downtown development. Part nostalgia,
part public affairs, The Hudson's Building documentary
illustrates the depth of feelings Metro Detroiters had
for the 106 year old building.
“ The Hudson's Building is
truly relevant and exciting documentary filmmaking-well
done!”

Forgotten
Voices This documentary
weaves images of hope with the desperate reality of
serving a life sentence in prison.
Shot entirely at Western Wayne Correctional facility
(the former DeHoCo, Detroit House of Corrections in
Plymouth, MI) and three years in the making, Forgotten
Voices chronicles the struggle of three prisoners and
the impact of art in their rehabilitation. Featuring
the ArtsGrowth prison outreach program, this film captures
the raw intensity of individuals dealing with their
violent pasts through creative writing and painting.
In true cinema verite” style with no narrator, prisoners
and correctional staff speak candidly and openly about
the merits of arts education in state prisons, and the
need for alternative programs, as both the cost and
number of prisoners escalate.
Winner; Best Documentary,

out of the worst ugliness and pain. That idea has never
