Muskegon Film Festival

The Muskegon film festival is held every February in the Frauenthal Center for the Performing Arts in downtown Muskegon, Michigan. Films are screened in both the Frauenthal Theater and the Beardsley Theater.

The first Muskegon Film Festival was held in May 2002 during Mother's Day weekend.

It returned in February 2004 with a new submission policy: they would only accept films which played at other film festivals.

In 2004, there were seminars about the history of animation and the visual effects in the Matrix films.

In 2005, there was a seminar about filmmaking in Michigan and another about a film about asparagus.

They also hold high school and college film competitions. The high school competition is sponsored by Compass Academy in Grand Rapids, Michigan and the college competition is sponsored by Grand Valley State University.
