What we're looking for:
What do we mean by "weird film"?
From Miriam-Webster:
weird: of, relating to, or caused by witchcraft or the supernatural: MAGICAL, of strange or extraordinary character: ODD, FANTASTIC.
We seek films that speak from and to the imagination. We want films to make us dream. We are not concerened with narrative realism. We want to see your most beautiful, grotesque and outre fantasies up on the screen. Films must be weird of atmosphere, incident or both. Films within the horror, science fiction and fantasy genres will be considered. So will erotic films, which - when they are good - emerge from fantasy and daydream. Unclassifiable films of a supremely bizarre nature are prized above all.
We are accepting submissions of any running time and of any shooting format. Screening format must be DVD or DVD-R.
We are determined to keep this festival 100% free. Free to attend, free to participate. No admission, no fees.
Please contact us if you're interested.
