Thunder Bay International Film Festival preview at Art in the Loft

ALPENA, Mich. — The Thunder Bay International Film Festival is quickly approaching, and NOAA is teaming up with Art in the Loft for a sneak peek event on Jan 16. Trailers for all 50 of the upcoming films will be shown and there will also be door prizes and giveaways throughout the evening.

Acting Research Coordinator with the Thunder Bay National Marine Sanctuary, Stephanie Gandulla says this is the perfect time to get a preview of what the film festival has in store. “If you are at all interested in a film festival, have never been to one, want to learn more, you want to be at art in the loft tomorrow night,” she said.

This will be the eighth annual Thunder Bay International Film Festival and will feature both ocean and Great Lakes films. “You can really expect fascinating and beautiful coverage of sharks, whales, sea turtles and all those critters that we love. There’s also some great adventure stories about sailing and scuba diving,” said Gandulla.

You can get your sneak peek of the festival at Art in the Loft Thursday from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m and this event is free for the public.
