The highly anticipated film, Marshall, which was primarily shot in Buffalo, is scheduled to premiere at the North Park Theatre on Saturday, October 7.
WNED | WBFO and the Buffalo International Film Festival (BIFF) are bringing this special premiere to Buffalo. To get an idea for what’s in store, check out this explosive movie trailer below that features a number of WNY locations, including the Central Terminal. If you ever imagined what it would be like to live in the days of the operational Central Terminal, this film gives us an awesome perspective that is pretty mind blowing. Marshall brought the terminal back to life, if even for the purposes of filming.
The film also features Buffalo’s City Hall, Statler City, the Niagara Falls Library, Akron Falls County Park, the Orchard Park train depot and the former Michael J. Dillon Federal Courthouse, which were all made to represent a time period during Thurgood Marshall’s early career in Connecticut during the 1940s.
The “Marshall” premiere at North Park Theatre is slated to be a red carpet event, complete with a panel discussion. Producers Chris Bongirne and Jonathan Sanger will also offer some insight into the film, and will participate in a Q&A.
Doors open at 7:30 p.m. and the screening beings at 8 p.m. Panel discussion and Q&A occur immediately after the screening. Event made possible by support from Independent Health.
