What’s It All About?

The Traverse City Film Festival (TCFF) is celebrating its centenary this year.  Committed to showing great movies that both entertain and enlighten the audience, the festival was founded by Academy Award-winning director Michael Moore.

It presents classic movies free of cost on a giant, inflatable outdoor screen overlooking Grand Traverse Bay in the Open Space at dusk. Free panel discussions with directors, writers, actors and other members of the film industry are offered daily. Also, an affordable film school runs throughout the festival, offering twice daily classes for film students and film lovers.

Concerto: A Beethoven Journey

Directed by Phil Grabsky, Concerto: A Beethoven Journey seeks to reveal Beethoven in a way rarely seen before with world-class pianist, Norway’s Leif Ove Andsnes mastering Beethoven’s five piano concertos. It offers an in-depth exploration of Beethoven’s life and music by peeling away many myths, making it perhaps the most revealing biography on the late music maestro.
