FOLKTALES tells the timely and heartwarming story of teenagers who choose to spend an unconventional “gap year” learning to dog sled and survive the Arctic wilderness, in hopes of finding connection and meaning in the modern world. Through intimate verité storytelling and exhilarating cinematography, this documentary examines humans on the cusp of adulthood, finding themselves at the edge of the world.

Tuesday, September 29th at 1pm and 7pm

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
