“Iron Opera” screens as FFF23 Thursday Night Showcase

The Fargo Film Festival is excited to announce the F-M premiere of “Iron Opera”, the new documentary feature from directors Mike Scholtz and Marius Anderson. The film will screen at 7pm on March 23rd as the Festival’s Thursday Night Showcase. Director Mike Scholtz and musician Steve Solkela will both appear on stage for a Q&A after the film. Solkela will also perform live at the Fargo Theatre before the documentary. Passes for the Fargo Film Festival are currently on sale. Individual tickets for this session will go on sale later this month.

About Iron Opera:
It’s not easy to stage an opera in the middle of northern Minnesota. But this is the Iron Range where the people are stubborn and the music of the Old World still runs deep in their veins. Watch as a renowned concert pianist teams up with an Ojibwe language teacher, a skateboarding accordionist, and talent imported from every corner of the Earth to pull off the impossible. Here you’ll find small towns with big dreams.

About the filmmaker:

Mike Scholtz is a documentary filmmaker who lives in the woods of northern Minnesota. He was born just across the river in Moorhead. But he tells people that he actually grew up here in the Fargo Theatre watching Silent Movie Nights, My Life as a Dog and the greatest double feature screening in the history of cinema: Lost Boys and Fright Night. His first feature-length film was the Arctic crime caper Wild Bill’s Run. Since then, he’s produced and directed films like Wicker Kittens, Lost Conquest and Riplist. He also founded the Free Range Film Festival in a 100-year-old barn outside of Duluth, Minnesota.
