Ferndale put its best face forward the first weekend in September 2009, with the first ever Ferndale Film Festival. The event, which grew out of the Detroit Film Club and their meetings at Dino’s Lounge 22740 Woodward, featured over 30 films at a dozen locations through the city, along with workshops and discussion groups.
