Scream Queen Filmfest Tokyo: A Two-Day Celebration Of Female Horror Directors
Scream Queen Filmfest Tokyo is a brand new short film festival, taking place from 26-27 October, dedicated entirely to short horror films by female directors. The festival is the brainchild of Mai Nakanishi, herself a genre filmmaker currently involved in horror anthology The ABCs Of Death 2, in which she is producing segments from Sono Sion (Cold Fish, Why Don't You Play In Hell?) and Ohata Hajime (Henge) with long-time Sushi Typhoon stalwart Marc Walkow.
Taking place at the Uplink Factory in Shibuya, the two-day event boasts a wide selection of short films from all over the world, including new live action and animated works from many of the biggest names in the genre, while also providing an excellent springboard for emerging female filmmakers to showcase their work alongside more established directors. If you're in the neighbourhood this is definitely going to be worth checking out.
Here's the official description from the festival's website:
Scream Queen Film Festival Tokyo is an event dedicated to showcase and promote female filmmakers in the horror genre. Our festival is subsidiary of annual "L.A Viscera Film Festival"- a festival that features fearsome creations of female genre filmmakers. We are holding our very first screening event on October 26th and 27th in Shibuya, Tokyo to showcase horror and dark fantasy shorts directed by women from all around the world. We hope that Scream Queen Film Festival Tokyo becomes an outlet that shows unique visions that female artists bring to horror.
