About this Event

Doaa Magdy's comes to The Twisted Spine!

HORROR IN SECONDS is an award-winning indie smartphone festival for emerging filmakers of color. Their mission is to amplify accessible filmmaking by showcasing 60-second horror movies created without dialogue, by artists and creators from around the world. This approach makes them accessible for the deaf and hard of hearing community, breaks linguistic barriers, and opens doors for those without access to traditional filmmaking equipment.

Throughout the evening we will be screening 30 microfilms that are each under a minute long. Following the screening, Lowell Greenblatt of Macabre Daily will be moderating a discussion that's sure to be as lively as these (very) short films!

...and more!
