Morbido 2015: WE ARE STILL HERE, TURBO KID, BASKIN In First Massive Wave, Official Poster Unveiled

Andrew Mack, Editor, News; Toronto, Canada (@Mack_SAnarchy)

¡Dios mío! Today our friends at the Morbido Film Festival are unveiling the first wave of programming for this year's festival. It is a whopper of an announcement. 

After you are done scanning the massive list of titles, come back and gaze fondly upon the gorgeous, and perhaps terrifying, new poster for this year's festival. I know the theme of this year's festival is death ceremonies and Morbido moved the festival ahead this year so we will be in town for Dias De Los Muertos. I though maybe there would be a parade and I would finally get that death mask I have always wanted. This poster hints at something a little more... primal. My travelling companion this year will not be more than an arm's length away from me that weekend. 

Back to the lineup! 

I immediately recognize a couple titles out of the Latin American feature film lineup. The first is Lex Ortega's Atroz. We have remained in contact since we met at Morbido a couple years back and when he found out I was coming this year he suggested I bring the air sickness bags from the plane with me to the screening of his film. Eep! 

Adrián García Bogliano's latest Scherzo Diabolico will also be there. I can say to his face how disgusting I find his prolific filmmaking skills to be. If his wife does not kill me then and there we will embrace like brothers. 

Apart from the lengthy selection of Latin American feature films there are also a number of international titles with a lot of recognizable titles in that lineup. Ted Geoghegan's We Are Still Here. RKSS' Turbo Kid. Christian Hallman's Sensoria. Can Evrenol's Baskin. Adam Egypt Mortimor's Some Kind of Hate. Takashi Miike's Yakuza Apocalypse. 

This is just the first wave, folks!

When you peruse the International shorts lineup there are two names that stand out. ScreenAnarchy's own Izzy Lee and Dr. Shelagh Rowan-Legg have short films at this year's festival! The ScreenAnarchy ladies are getting it done! 

You ready to get your scroll on? Here we go. The first wave of titles for the Morbido Film Festival!
