Join us for a special community screening of this acclaimed documentary film Marqueetown. The film explores the history of The Nordic Theater, an innovative gem, which endured in Marquette Michigan for almost 100 years, even as the world changed endlessly around them.

Portraying the fascinating history of motion pictures through one iconic screen – and featuring dozens of Michigan locations and characters – Marqueetown is a true story of chasing your dreams,redefining failure and success, and re-embracing the enduring magic of cinema.
