The women of Viscera have done it again. Not content with shining a light on the works of talented female horror filmmakers, Shannon Lark and Heidi Honeycutt (editor-in-chief of Planet Fury) have organized the Etheria Film Festival, a new juried fest dedicated to highlighting the best new short fantasy and sci-fi films made by women.
Taking place this Saturday (September 15) at The Somerville Theater in Somerville, Massachusetts, the Etheria Fest will be screening 15 short films in competition. Among those assisting Honeycutt and Lark in the judging process are filmmaker Rachel Talalay, director of the awesome cult fave Tank Girl ; Harvard Film Archive conservator Liz Coffey; and director/blogger/illustrator Stacie Ponder — yes, the Final Girl herself! Also being shown is We Are All Cylons, a documentary that looks at the rabid fandom inspired by Battlestar Galactica.
I asked Honeycutt why she felt the need to establish another film fest devoted to women filmmakers.
