DOLORES

Wednesday, October 22nd

Dolores Huerta bucks 1950s gender conventions by starting the country’s first farm worker’s union with fellow organizer Cesar Chavez. What starts out as a struggle for racial and labor justice, soon becomes a fight for gender equality within the same union she is eventually forced to leave. As she wrestles with raising 11 children, three marriages, and is nearly beaten to death by a San Francisco tactical police squad, Dolores emerges with a vision that connects her new found feminism with racial and class justice.

What happens when a locksmith opens the wrong door? This French-Belgian noir thriller seeks to find out – as it introduces you to Mady, a young Black college student in Brussels who moonlights as a locksmith during a summer gripped by protests against police brutality. He’s working from his van one night when he decides to help a young white woman who claims her cash is locked inside her apartment; however, the real tenant – a neo-Nazi – emerges thinking he’s being robbed. What happens next drags Mady into a criminal underbelly of Belgian gangsters who force Mady to look within himself to discover a Marvel-level flair for keeping trouble he didn’t ask for at bay – the whole time dodging police he can’t trust. NIGHT CALL is a thrilling, breathless journey through the grittier side of a European tourist’s post card.

Tuesday, October 21st 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.
