With the Ann Arbor Film Festival Touring Program — collection of independent short films — you won’t know beforehand exactly what you might see. But if past years’ programs are any guide, odds are the offerings will be pretty good.
This is the 50th annual outing of the festival’s touring program, which compiles prize-winning shorts — animation, narrative, experimental and documentary — into two programs. As part of the RADical weekend, the price is certainly right: free. All screenings at Melwood Screening Room, in Oakland.

Program A: 7:30 p.m. Fri., Oct. 5; and 9:15 p.m. Sat., Oct. 6.
Program B: 9:15 p.m. Fri., Oct. 5; and 7 :30 p.m. Sat., Oct. 6.
