Looking for a film event this weekend? Check out the Traverse City Film Festival, which opened Tuesday night with Nigel Cole’s “Made in Dagenham” and Icíar Bollaín’s “Even the Rain.”

The weekend also includes nightly outdoor screenings and music, film production seminars and student shorts programs.

Now in its seventh year, TCFF features 150 screenings of about 100 films.

The Traverse City Film Festival, co-founded by Oscar-winning filmmaker Michael Moore, closes out Sunday night with a screening of Charlie Chaplin’s “Modern Times.”
