The Vidlings & Tapeheads Film Festival welcomes all film, music, and art lovers! We’re rallying a robust and diverse crowd from throughout Metro Detroit as well as visiting filmmakers from around the globe. We expect a great crowd to come out Friday through Sunday to enjoy all our festival has to offer — and Planet Ant Hall & Ghost Light can easily accommodate a large audience. From high school & college students, to young professionals & progressive culture enthusiasts of all ages, our audience will find a fix for their niche whether at our film screenings, live music performances, or all-day art exhibition.

Submissions were open from late January through early May, 2017. We received over 200 entries from which our programmers are crafting the festival lineup in four categories: Made in Michigan, Animation, Documentary, and Fiction.
