The Viscera Film Festival, which we sponsor, was created by Shannon Lark and presents horror films made by women from all over the world! Lark has just announced the 2009-2010 officially selected Viscera films. Viscera is judged by a panel of female horror filmmakers.
Animated super-short Barbee Butcher by Sophie Lagues, Beautiful As You Are by Doug Mallette and Mary Katherine Sisco, Hollywood Skin by Maude Michaud, the humorous I Spit on Eli Roth by Devi Snively, the experimental Mary Jane Go Round by Ginnetta Correli (Viscera Award Winner), super-creepy Mockingbird by Marichelle Daywalt, stylized Salome's Picnic by Victoria Waghorn, and action-packed Switch by Melanie Light are the official choices for 2010...
The selected films are placed on a compilation DVD which is viewed by Viscera's Sponsors, who are journalists, websites, artists, and affiliated Film Festivals for potential reviews/screenings around the world. The Viscera Film Festival will have its first screening in the Spring of 2010 (date TBA) in Los Angeles, celebrating Viscera's 2009, 2008, and 2007's selections, accompanied with an award ceremony.
Each selected filmmaker will receive a Viscera Statue and filmmaker Ginnetta Correli will receive the 2009-2010 Viscera Award for her film "Mary Jane Go Round." The Viscera Award is a monetary award suited specifically for women coming together exclusively or creating films on their own instead of participating in cat fights and talking about hairspray.
Melanie Light's SWITCH and Maude Michaud's HOLLYWOOD SKIN will be both playing at the Pretty Scary Blood Bath Film Festival.
