Wolf's Head Film Festival

October 23-24, 2026

Wolf’s Head Film Festival exists at the edge of seasons, when imagination fills the dark. Over two nights in Michigan’s Keweenaw Peninsula, audiences will gather for indie shorts, sought-after documentaries, and cult classics that blur the line between the real and the uncanny. From exclusives premieres and screenings of legendary cult classics, Wolf’s Head pairs world-class cinema with the Copper Country’s haunting beauty — mining ruins, deep forests, and Lake Superior’s restless shores. More than a festival, it’s a place to watch, wonder, and be haunted together.

Festival Highlights

  • Curated Short Film Programs — Indie, surreal, horror, experimental, with filmmaker Q&As
  • Feature Screenings — Including Stolen Kingdom (2025) premiere & The Blair Witch Project (1999)
  • Keweenaw VIP Tour — Exclusive group tour and experience in partnership with the Quincy Mine!
  • Live Nightlife & After-Hours Events — Concerts, karaoke, networking mixers
  • Awards & Recognition — Juried and audience awards for standout works.
