A screening of the documentary Marqueetown hosted at the Old Art Building in Leland, MI, with a Q+A moderated by Tusen Takk Assistant Director Maggie Pavao. All proceeds from ticket sales benefit the Old Art Building. The film’s directors Joe Beyer and Jordan Anderson participated in a Guest Residency at Tusen Takk in 2023.

Based on the work of Bernie Rosendahl, Marqueetown tells the true story of one Michigan resident’s modern crusade to restore the historic arthouse of his youth to its former glory, a quest that leads the filmmakers to discover a hidden cinema empire in the Upper Peninsula. Portraying the fascinating 100-year-history of motion pictures through one iconic screen, Marqueetown is about chasing your dreams, redefining failure and success, and remembering the enduring magic of movies. In an effort to shine attention on cherished theaters in communities across Michigan and support them, Marqueetown is flipping the script on the standard theatrical splits and donating 100% of all the ticket sales to each venue - funds that will go directly back to the hosts for operations, preservation, and maintenance of these local gems.
