Jennifer's Bodies 2017 - Official Short Film Selection!

Below is the list of short films that shall be screening at Jennifer's Bodies in on the 19th of February 2017 at Blackfriars in Glasgow in association with Popcorn Horror.  

Jo Osborne - Requital

Katie Bonham - Mindless

Jill Sixx Gevargizian - The Stylist

Gigi Saul Guerrero - Madre De Dios

Julie Robinson - Were

Karen Lam - Chiral

Izzy Lee - Innsmouth

Aviv Rubinstien - With Whip 

Venita Ozols-Graham - Used Body Parts

On top of these films, due to knowing I have a large audience that won't have seen a whole load of films, I am going to be doing "Blasts from the Past" section, where I screen a few films that I have previously shown over the years, but that I love so much, and that I think fit in so perfectly in today's climate, that I believe them to be truly important pieces of work!  Anyone who has watched these films before, I am sure will be psyched to get the chance to check them out again.  

I am still confirming the feature, but I am going for something really awesome and will let you know as soon as possible.  

Keep your eyes peeled for the list of films getting a sneak peek at the festival, some of these are exclusive sneak peeks as well, with some of the filmmakers in attendance to introduce them! :) xo

Jennifer's Bodies Official Selection 2017 - Karen Lam's Chiral!

I am so happy to announce that Jennifer's Bodies favourite crazy cat lady and knitting obsessive, Karen Lam, is back!  Yay!  Over the years I have screened two of the Lam'ster's features, Evangeline and Stained, as well as shorts Doll Parts, The Meeting, Stalled and The Stolen.

Karen creates such visually stunning films with a very twisted and macabre heart making this Canadian most definitely a woman after my own heart, haha.

This year I shall be screening her short film Chiral, which sees an art dealer confronting a would-be thief, only to come face to face with a horrifying experience.  

(Nelson Leis) 

Starring Nelson Leis (who has worked on two of my favourite ever shows, Bates Motel and The Killing, as well as Arrow, The Flash, Supernatural, The 4400 and a whole heap of cool stuff, including Lam's Evangeline!!), Vanessa Walsh (Supernatural, Olympus, Almost Human) and Ingrid Nilson (the voice of Raspberry Torte in the Strawberry Shortcake animated series, voice of Maud Pie in My Little Pony....like basically doing cartoons that were two of my favourites as a kid - how totally cool is that!?  She was also in Supernatural as well.   Ingrid is also a professional dancer, burlesque performer, song writer, theatre creator....an all round talented chickaroo!)

Alongside Lam, Leis and Walsh, the film was also produced by Karen Wong.  Creepily enough (you wouldn't expect anything less from me, haha!!), I have just discovered that one of the films I was talking about yesterday in work, was actually the first film she worked on.  The utterly gore~geous Kissed!  Yes, I was talking about necrophilia to my customers at work, haha.  Wong has also worked on a bunch of Little Miss Lam's films, including producing the incredible Evangeline.

Ooh, Karen is also currently working as a staff writer on Neil Labute's Syfy series Van Helsing which I totally need to check out!

Jennifer's Bodies 2017 Official Selection - Jo Osborne's Requital

So happy to announce that I shall be screening fellow Scot, Jo Osborne's new short Requital, a beautifully macabre look at betrayal and the consequences that can arise. 

Jo is going to be there to introduce the film, as well as partake in the Women in Horror panel as well.  After flying over to the States for Hannah's Ax Wound festival as well, you know I'm going to be squee'ing over her chilling with Hannah!  Yay! 

Obviously, I am always happy about women in horror films, but when it comes to Scottish women in horror, of course I am all the nerdier!  Haha.  Requital is clearly a very personal film, what I love even more is that Jo started the whole Love Hurts Film Festival because of this film.  The festival is happening in Glasgow on the 14th February 2017 and the line-up is sounding ace!  You can find out more information here.  :)
