What is art for? What does an artist owe the world, and what does she owe herself? These are the questions Greek-American opera diva Maria Callas asks herself at the end of her life in this stunning, visually resplendent biographical drama. Academy Award-winner Angelina Jolie’s performance as Callas is a tour de force that earned her Best Actress nominations from this year’s Golden Globes and Critics Choice Awards. Set in the week leading up to the superstar’s 1977 death in her Paris apartment, MARIA envisions Callas’ final performance – both literally, as she summons her failing voice, and imaginally, as she revisits the emotional crucibles – from her childhood trauma to her affair with Aristotle Onassis – that drove her. MARIA is a blockbuster movie about an unstoppable woman with otherworldly talent; it is also a feast for the senses – it was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Cinematography, and a Critics Choice award for Best Costume Design.

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.
