The 2016 Duluth Superior Film Festival runs June 1 to 5. Admission is free, and screenings are at several locations, including Clyde Iron Works, Zinema 2, Teatro Zuccone and the Red Herring. The Comet Theater in Cook, Minnesota, will host the last night. The lineup features “The Seventh Fire,” a documentary about Rob Brown, a Native American gang leader on the White Earth Reservation in northern Minnesota, shown June 1 at Clyde Iron Works, with a post-screening reception at 8 p.m.
“American Fable” is on tap June 3 at Zinema 2 at 7 p.m. It's about an 11-year-old girl who discovers her father is hiding a wealthy man in their silo to save the struggling farm, and she must choose between saving the man’s life or protecting her family.
The Minnesota premiere of “After the Reality,” filmed in Virginia and Crane Lake, Minnesota, is June 5 at the Comet Theater in Cook, Minnesota, at 7 and 9 p.m. Director David Anderson will be attending the screening and receptions. It's about Scottie Olson trying to find purpose in his life, this time by vying for a woman’s heart on the hit reality TV dating show “Young Bucks.” When his father dies, he quits the series and reunites with his estranged sister, Kate, who had put her life on hold to be their father's caretaker.
Other films include “Superior,” about best friends Charlie and Derek, who in 1969 embark on a final adventure before one starts college and the other waits to be drafted. It's a 1,300-mile bike ride around Lake Superior on two-speed Schwinn bikes. And in “Bringing it Back Home: Paul Metsa and the Cats Under the Stars,” Virginia, Minnesota, native Paul Metsa and his band celebrate 40 years of making music.
