Featuring Live Music by The Broadway Strings
One of EIFF’s most dynamic evenings, the August 20 screening blends international cinema with live performance as members of The Broadway Strings join the festival for an evening where music and film share the spotlight. Throughout the night, the quartet interweaves live music between selected films, creating a cinematic experience that unfolds both onscreen and onstage.
Official film selections will be announced in July 2026. Until then, audiences can reserve their seats for a uniquely festive night at The Ember Club — where bold filmmaking, live artistry, and Emberlight’s signature atmosphere come together for an experience found nowhere else in the region.




MORE ART TO DISCOVER
Over the final two weeks of the festival, Emberlight comes fully to life across the Gogebic Range. Spend the afternoon strolling through Art in the Park and Emberlight Photographers, then gather in the evening for international cinema, unforgettable performances, and lively conversation with artists and friends over a pint. And of course, it all unfolds during the most beautiful weeks of the year in the Northwoods.
This summer, the Emberlight International Film Festival (EIFF) expands to five nights at The Ember Club on August 14, 16, 19, 20, and 21. On August 15, pianist Adam Rothenberg presents Poets & Arborists in recital at the Hurley Auditorium. And on August 22, Emberlight returns to the historic Ironwood Theatre for Something Wonderful, a special closing concert with Miles Mykkanen, Adam Rothenberg, and The Broadway Strings.
