–ATTENTION – STATE THEATRE CLOSED TODAY–

WHEN IT RAINS IT POURS

We regret to inform you that the sudden arrival of heavy rains, after quite a long absence, has revealed a second roof leak that requires attention. With the safety of our patrons, equipment, and historic building in mind we feel this is the most prudent decision. We will provide further updates as they become available.

After generations of showcasing its antebellum homes and hoop-skirted docents, Natchez, Mississippi, is now reckoning with a romanticized past, an uncertain future and the debt it owes to the descendants of slavery. A cinematic portrait of a tourist town at a crossroads, NATCHEZ follows an array of historic homeowners, activists and tour guides as they tell their versions of the past, and clash over who gets to tell America’s story.

Tuesday, June 9th at 1pm and 7pm

IN LOVING MEMORY OF
GRANT MICHAEL CARRITHERS

The Traverse City Film Festival is committed to showing ‘Just Great Movies’ and helping to save one of America’s few indigenous art forms — the cinema. We are committed to showing great movies that both entertain and enlighten the audience. We need movies that seek to enrich the human spirit and the art of filmmaking, not the bottom line. Our goal is for people to leave the theater with the feeling that they just watched something special.

Kids’ $1 Matinee!

The State Theatre offers family friendly movies every Saturday at 10 am.

All tickets are only $1

We also offer affordable snacks for both children and adults.
