The Detroit Film Theatre at the Detroit Institute of Arts begins its summer season next Friday, June 14, with its Summer 2013 schedule, but first it presents a selection of movies from Ann Arbor’s Cinetopia International Film Festival. That celebration of cinematic excellence from many nations begins Thursday, June 6, in three Ann Arbor venues -- the Michigan Theater auditorium, the State Theater and Angell Hall Auditorium A -- but you can see nine of the films in the DIA auditorium this weekend. Ticket prices for Cinetopia are higher than for normal DFT admissions at $12, or $9 for DIA members. 

     (For more information on the full festival, visit the official website or call 866-777-8932.)
