Threadbare Mitten Film Festival comes to REO Town

Threadbare Mitten Film Festival founder Dan Kofed comes from Charlotte, where he had two successful runs of the no-frills film festival. This year, cinephiles and movie lovers alike will take over Reo Town for three days witnessing the true grit of Michigan’s independent filmmakers.

Leading with “What’s your genre?,” coordinators broke up a typically horror-heavy lineup to match the inclinations of its audience, with blocks such as “The Surreal World” and “Romance and Other Absurdities.” Saturday’s schedule includes a block, called Female Gaze, dedicated to challenging gender conventions in cinema at Blue Owl Coffee on Washington Avenue.
