We are so excited to present The Storehouse 2023 Film Festival at the Vickers Theatre in Three Oaks, MI this April 28th - 30th! It is a great honor to share all three of these artist-driven films at Harbor Country's very own arthouse cinema throughout the weekend. They are sure to change the way you hear, see, and think about the world at large.
Our opening night’s documentary feature, 'Syl Johnson: Any Way The Wind Blows’, was produced by The Storehouse’s Michael Slaboch. He will be on hand to do a Q&A afterwards and play some classic Chicago soul 45s throughout the evening. Stick around for the after-party!
The rest of the weekend features multiple screenings of two new films from directors Kelly Reichardt and Sam Green. We admire Kelly and Sam so much, and we are so elated to screen their fantastic new films with you.
Be sure to come early! The theatre has beer & wine, along with real buttered popcorn & snacks, and we've curated 40 minutes of music videos from Storehouse friends & family as our "house music" before each film. We'll be screening videos both old and new from Yo La Tengo, Jeff Tweedy, Natural Information Society, Steve Gunn, Meg Baird & Mary Lattimore, William Tyler, Bill MacKay and James Elkington on the big screen all weekend long!
More info about each of the films, trailers, and ticket links can be found below. We look forward to hopefully seeing you later this month!
