Dalmatian Films presents WOLF
World Premiere – Sheffield DocFest, International First Feature Competition 2026
Narrated through a deeply personal conversation with longtime friend Tilda Swinton,
WOLF traces the extraordinary life of British musician Patrick Wolf.
A defining artist of his generation, Patrick Wolf rose from the backdrop of early 2000s
London. Shapeshifting between indie popstar and avant-garde artist, he was a maverick of
his time. All until schoolday traumas, grief and his addiction collided, making music a painful
memory.
The film is an exploration of resilience, the burden of being a singular LGBT voice and
nature’s healing ability in finding that voice again. Interweaving present-day, animation and
personal material from over fifty hours of unseen archival footage, WOLF is a journey of hope that shows no-one has to be defined by the shadows of their past.
