Each year, EIFF brings acclaimed independent films and emerging voices from around the world to The Ember Club, offering audiences the rare opportunity to experience festival-quality cinema in an intimate Northwoods setting.
Official film selections will be announced in July 2026. Secure your seats now and be part of an evening devoted to bold storytelling, unforgettable performances, and the shared experience of cinema at its finest.
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.
Plan your trip to Emberlight now and experience some of the most inspiring nights of the Northwoods summer.
