Friday Schedule @ FCFF

Film, socials, conversations, and more

Day Two • October 18

The Fresh Coast Film Festival is hosted by several venues around Marquette. We couldn’t bring this festival to life without the generous support of these venues-please buy their beer, eat their food and thank them profusely like we do. Festival headquarters is located at the Marquette Commons with outdoor tours headquartered at Down Wind Sports. Most venues are within a half-mile walk. Some venues may have limited seating.

Troubled Water

Fresh Coast Basecamp at Lower Harbor Park

Troubled Water is an exhilarating adventure, conservation film that beckons viewers to follow along on a transformative journey down the stunning coast of Lake Michigan. As the journey unfolds, the film unveils the significance of the Line 5 pipeline issue, the dire need for collective action and the historic precedent that this movement would establish. If successfully shutdown, it would become the first active pipeline in US history to be terminated before it ruptures.

After Party!

Blackrocks Brewery

Join us Friday evening at 9PM for a Fresh Coast after party. This is a chance to visit with filmmakers, fellow attendees, organizers, and enjoy a brew from one of our favorite local breweries. Blackrocks Brewery has been a proud Fresh Coast supporter since year one.
