The 20th anniversary re-release of PRIDE AND PREJUDICE is here at the State Theatre all weekend! 

Jane Austen’s PRIDE AND PREJUDICE tells the story of Elizabeth Bennet and Mr. Darcy, who must overcome their initial pride and prejudice to find love. The novel explores themes of love, marriage, social class, and the importance of judging character rather than appearances, all set against the backdrop of 19th-century English society.

INTERLOCHEN IN TOWN PRESENTS ALL THAT JAZZ

Director/choreographer Bob Fosse tells his own life story as he details the sordid career of Joe Gideon, a womanizing, drug-using dancer. One of the most gleefully indulgent, self-loathing films ever made- yet watchable as a train wreck, thanks to its bravery, wit and overall excellence.

Winner of the World Cinema Grand Jury Prize for documentary, CUTTING THROUGH ROCKS is the story of Sara Shaverdi, who vies to become the first female councilwoman in her small Iranian village. A divorcée, former midwife and motorcycle enthusiast, Shaverdi has spent her life fighting for the rights of women and girls in the face of a misogynistic authoritarian regime. The husband and wife co-directors followed Shaverdi and her community for seven years, and the result is a deft, visually stunning portrayal of the grit, vision and determination of a woman who refuses to be confined by her gender – and who is committed to blazing a path for all the girls and women around her, whether they’re bold enough to ride motorcycles with her or are on the verge of being married off as children. CUTTING THROUGH ROCKS is a stunning achievement that is sure to continue sweeping the festival circuit.

TERRY LYNN CARRITHERS
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.
