We are proud and excited to be a part of the Cinetopia International Film Festival, which brings the best feature-length dramas, comedies, and documentaries from the world’s best film festivals (Sundance, Cannes, Venice, Toronto, Berlin, SXSW, Tribeca, etc.) to southeastern Michigan. Cinetopia honors the rich heritage of cinematic culture and Michigan’s proud legacy of outstanding cinema artists through special pre- and post-film events, including presentations, discussion panels, and Q&A sessions with directors, writers, and stars.

God Help The Girl – Friday, June 6 at 9:15 p.m.
NR – 83 min – United Kingdom – Sundance

In this musical, Eve (Emily Browning) deals with her emotional problems by writing songs. Songwriting becomes her way forward, leading her to the City (Glasgow, Scotland) where she meets James (Olly Alexander) and Cassie (Hannah Murray), two musicians each at a crossroads of their own. What follows is a story of their renaissance over the course of a long, dream-like summer.

Hellion – Sunday, June 8 at 7:00 p.m.
NR - 98 min – United States – Sundance, SXSW
Thirteen-year-old Jacob (Josh Wiggins) is a motocross fan and obsessed with heavy metal. When his increasingly delinquent behavior forces CPS to place his little brother with his aunt, Jacob and his emotionally absent father Hollis (Aaron Paul) must finally take responsibility for their actions and for each other in order to bring Wes home.

Lilting – Saturday, June 7 at 4:30 p.m.
NR – 86 min – United Kingdom – Sundance
What would you do if the only person that could help comfort you from the sudden death of a loved one spoke a different language? That’s the dilemma facing the main characters of Lilting, as Junn, an old Chinese woman, and Richard, the English boyfriend of her late son, must try to overcome their inability to communicate—and their dislike of one another—in order to deal with their grief and honor their memories. The winner of the Cinematography Award at the 2014 Sundance Film Festival , the first feature film by Cambodian director Hong Khaou teams British actor and BAFTA winner Ben Whishaw (Skyfall, Cloud Atlas, I’m Not There) with acclaimed Chinese actress Pei-Pei Cheng (Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon) in this delicate yet memorable tale of how love has the power to overcome that which gets lost in translation.
