Marqueetown

1h 23m   |   Documentary

Through booms and busts, Delft Theatres Inc. — and its innovative gem, The Nordic — endured in Marquette, Michigan for almost 100 years, even as the world changed endlessly around them.

Local teenager Bernie Rosendahl’s modern crusade to restore the historic arthouse to its former glory as an adult, leads filmmakers to discover a hidden cinema empire in the Upper Peninsula. 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 reembracing the enduring magic of cinema.
