Assistant Professor Rasel Ahmed's film, Goodbye, Snoball, is headed to the Ann Arbor Film Festival at the end of March.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, Washington, D.C., swings from a ghost town to a protest epicenter. Sergei Kostin, a local activist moves between these extremes daily. His days are split between the roaring chaos of street demonstrations and the tender moments with his aging dog, Snoball. Against the backdrop of a divisive election that brings thousands to the heart of America's capital, Sergei faces a more intimate challenge—the painful preparation to say goodbye to his beloved dog.

The Ann Arbor Film Festival is the oldest experimental film festival. The festival attracts submissions from around the world and is open to films of all lengths and genres. This year's festival runs March 24 - 29.
