The Mitten Movie Project is a monthly film night dedicated to screening independent films, shorts, trailers, music videos, documentaries, student films, video art pieces, etc. the first Tuesday of every month at 7:30 p.m. at the Main Art Theatre in Royal Oak (118 N. Main Street, Royal Oak, Michigan 48067).

Presale tickets are available for $8 at www.myspace.com/mittenmovieproject. Tickets at the door are $10.

A pre-screening reception starts at 6:30 p.m. in the Main Art lobby where moviegoers can mingle with the directors, film enthusiasts, press, and industry professionals. After the screening, filmmakers are invited to field questions from the audience in a Q&A session (time permitting). An afterglow party is held at various locations in downtown Royal Oak (check the press releases for afterparty location) to end the night’s activities.
