2007 Planet Ant Film and Video Festival
Art house shorts and the like will be screened throughout the weekend at Hamtramck's Planet Ant Theatre for their annual festival. Among the contestants is a film called Family Tree, directed by Vicky Jenson, co-director of Shrek. Family Tree grabs inspiration from Ovid's tale of Baucis and Philemon, following an overwhelmed man during a Thanksgiving plagued with bickering in-laws whose conflicts take precedence over nurturing family relationships. He seeks solace in his wife's long lost brother with his own deeply rooted problem. So, yeah, be there. — TRW
