Traverse City Film Festival Website Family Event Traverse City
The festival is committed to showing "Just Great Movies" and helping to save one of America's few indigenous art forms — the cinema.  The Traverse City Film Festival has grown to become one of the largest film festivals in the Midwest, and one of the most respected in the country. Last year, there were over 80,000 admissions to nearly 100 screenings, a number of them U.S. or world premieres. A special emphasis is given to foreign films, American independents, documentaries, and films which have been overlooked but deserve the attention of a public starved to see a good movie.
The festival also presents classic movies free of charge on a giant, inflatable outdoor screen overlooking Grand Traverse Bay in the Open Space Park at dusk.
Panel discussions with directors, writers, actors, and other members of the film industry are offered daily.
