ALMA AND THE WOLF
A rainy morning on the Oregon coast. A sheriff’s deputy encounters a former classmate wandering the backroads, covered in blood. A shocking act of violence has shaken the quiet community of Spiral Creek and a wolf has been seen prowling the woods with some unusual companions in tow.
​
“a unique blend of psychological horror and supernatural mystery with hints of folk horror and body horror. The film subverts expectations and turns conventions on their head throughout.” - Alex DiVincenzo, BLOODY DISGUSTING
Winner of the Audience Award - the 2025 Boston Underground Film Festival
​
Directed by Michael Patrick Jann
OPENING NIGHT LIVE MUSIC
Presented by GREAT CIRCLES, Upholstery creates dark music for curious minds. The Philadelphia-based art-rock troupe draws on a wide range of musical influences - from Portishead to Talking Heads, cabaret to post-punk - to create music that is visceral and thought-provoking. They also raise funds and love for local causes through their event series, The Monthly Fund.
