Given the increasing presence of the film industry in the state of Michigan, and regardless of such a presence, it is a shame that the Harbor Theater in Muskegon may have to close its doors. Located on Lakeshore Drive, the theater has been run by its current operators for the past two years. With two cozy screens and affordable Senior, student, and member prices, the theater is a sure win without even mentioning the films they show. Here is where the Harbor stands alone, often commanding a better selection in their two or so films per week than the local multiplex with their two dozen per week. From foreign to independent to obscure to conventional, the Harbor make hard to see films available to those who love them.
However, come February, this awesome art house may have to shut down from lack of funds- a complete shame for an area, state, and nation that embraces film. Donations can be made, or at the very least, the last chances to see a film at this venue should be taken advantage of. Any pledges made to this non-profit will be returned if not enough total money is acquired to keep the theater running. Help demand good films in the area by supporting local film screens and promoting excellent filmmaking. Fund raising event on January 30.
