Digging Detroit - Episode 4: Historic Detroit Theatres

The Detroit Film Theatre and the Redford Theatre are featured in Episode 4 of Digging Detroit.

February is the DIA's Detroit Film Theatre's biggest month as sell-out crowds have now made a tradition of attending the Oscar Shorts screenings--the only place in the state you can see all the live-action and animated short films in one location.

The Redford Theatre, run completely by volunteers for over 30 years, has never closed its doors--despite its Japanese theme severely decreasing attendance after WWII. Now movie-star-dinners and a social media blitz campaign has made the Redford's rentals sell-out into 2015--for films, weddings, and even power-lifting competitions!
