Genre Revolution in Liminal Spaces:
Women’s Horror Cinema on the Festival Circuit SONIA LUPHER Friday, 9 December 2022 — 6:00pm-8:00pm McGill University Arts W-215 — McCall-MacBain (Arts) Building |
We see the greatest amount of fearless innovation among filmmakers in the short film form, and women's horror film festivals are significant as the only organizations in the world that regularly curate and showcase a significant portion of these films. This talk gives an introduction to the women's horror film festival circuit from 2004 to the present, with particular attention to these spaces in which the short film form is central.
