The annual Duluth Superior Film Festival, in its ninth year, is happening now,
offering a spectacular buffet of local and regional films over five days, Wednesday, May 29 - Sunday, June 2, 2019. The festival is free to attend, but you can make donations at any venue and even buy a VIP pass which gets you preferred seating at any of the over 15 showings.
The festival opener "Riplist," by local filmmaker Mike Scholtz, hits the big screen at the Norshor Theater on Wednesday, May 29, at 7 pm, doors open at 6:30. You may know Scholz. The Duluth Superior Film Festival has shown a number of his films including "Wicker Kittens" and "Kinderchomper," and he is a part of programming the beloved Free Range Film Festival at the Wrenshall Barn.

As always the festival includes Minnesota and World premieres, Minnesota made films, Director Q&As, local filmmakers, films about Minnesota and as is often the case, a oldie but goodie, anniversary showing. This year, highlights include: local filmmakers Mike Scholz with Riplist, Writer/Director of Hyper Dark, Lance T. Karasti, who both join us on Radio Gallery this week, and a 20th Anniversary showing of Minnesota set, Drop Dead Gorgeous, a "mockumentary about a small-town Minnesota beauty pageant."
The festival also includes funny and dramitic feature films Tator Tot & Patton and International Falls, alongside thought-provoking documentaries like "Blood Memory" a Native American adoption survivor story, "Right to Harm" a deep look at Big Ag in the U.S. and on a lighter note, the opener, "Riplist," about a celebrity death pool.
