October 13-16, 2016
The first-ever Fresh Coast Film Festival takes place October 13-16, 2016 in Marquette. It’s a documentary film festival celebrating the outdoor lifestyle, water-rich environment and resilient spirit of the Great Lakes and Upper Midwest. The festival will bring together the best in adventure cinema from around the world while creating a venue and building a culture of Great Lakes storytelling.
For filmmakers and students Fresh Coast will mean an opportunity to interact with environmental thinkers, outdoors athletes and media professionals working in the outdoors industry. Who you know is as important as what you know and Fresh Coast is THE place in the Midwest to connect.
The lineup of films looks great – here’s a few of those with a distinctly Michigan angle that we’re particularly excited about!
A key component of the Fresh Coast experience will be guided outdoor activities to introduce visitors to the outdoor playground of the Marquette area. Rock climbing, fly fishing, sea kayaking, waterfall hikes and mountain bike rides will all be offered as part of the Fresh Coast weekend.
Things kick off on Thursday with a food truck rally and some free films at the Marquette Commons. Click for the full schedule!
