After closing its doors in 1988, Michigan Central Station became a symbol of Detroit's decaying infrastructure. However, following an extensive six-year renovation by Ford Motor Company, June 6th, 2024, marked a historic moment as Michigan Central Station reopened to the public.

Now a 30-acre district, it serves as a technology and cultural hub where leaders, thinkers, communities, and creators converge to accelerate bold ideas and technologies shaping our collective future.

The HBCU Film Invitational is honored to be one of the first events to partner with Michigan Central during this historic period.
