SATURDAY MAY 18 AT 7:00 PM – OLD ART BUILDING IN LELAND, MICHIGAN – BENEFITS OLD ART BUILDING – CAST AND CREW Q&A MODERATED BY MAGGIE PAVAO, ASSISTANT DIRECTOR TUSEN TAKK FOUNDATION

HOSTED IN COLLABORATION WITH TUSEN TAKK FOUNDATION – 100 SEATS

$10 TICKETS AVAILABLE NOW

No one fights to preserve a multiplex, but some people will risk everything to save a marquee. Through booms and busts, Delft Theatres Inc. – and its innovative gem, The Nordic – endured in Marquette Michigan for almost 100 years, even as the world changed endlessly around them. Local kid Bernie Rosendahl’s modern crusade to restore the historic arthouse to its former glory leads filmmakers to discover a hidden cinema empire in the Upper Peninsula.

Portraying the fascinating history of motion pictures through one iconic screen – and featuring dozens of real-life Marquette locations and characters – Marqueetown is the true story of chasing your dreams, redefining failure and success, and reembracing the enduring magic of cinema.

Written and Directed by Joseph Beyer and Jordan Anderson
Based on the work of Bernie Rosendahl
Executive Producers Kathleen Glynn ands Diana Milock
Associate Producers Terry Lynn Carrithers, Ward and Mary Gillette, Kathleen Verduin, Joe and Katie Anderson.
