Handmade Future is a documentary that follows artisans and artists in six countries as they confront complex middlemen and fight against fast, cheap factory-made merchandise. They hope to use their creativity and culture to keep traditional art-making alive. The film considers how they could help move us toward a more humane and sustainable future.

The Detroit Month of Design event is organized by Love Travels Imports.

Ticket purchases benefit Mint Artists Guild, The Red and the Senate Theater.  VIP tickets include a light reception, a Q&A with filmmaker Kirsten Dickerson, a rare behind the scenes tour of this historic 1926 neighborhood movie house and the chance to purchase items from the artisans in the film.
