Wolf's Head Film festival
Wolf’s Head Film Festival exists at the edge of seasons, when winds rattle empty branches and imagination fills the dark.
The festival showcases films that inhabit this liminal space—where documentary becomes myth, where the ordinary slips toward the eerie, where the absurd finds its echo in the real.
Each screening is a lantern held to the obscure, inviting audiences to gather, wonder, and be haunted together.

why the keweenaw?
The Keweenaw Peninsula is more than a backdrop—it’s a character in its own right. With its storied copper mining history, weathered ruins, dense forests, and sweeping Lake Superior vistas, the region offers a hauntingly beautiful setting that has long inspired storytellers.
Wolf’s Head Film Festival taps into this legacy, creating a cultural gathering place for local film fans, visiting artists, and cinephiles alike.
