The Final Girls present We Are The Weirdos

The Final Girls is ​a film collective that explores the intersections of horror film and feminism through curated screenings events. ​ Set up by Anna Bogutskaya and Olivia Howe, The Final Girls is a response to the lack of creative event and marketing opportunities around genre films, as well as a lack of space for female genre filmmakers and fans. The Final Girls have been doing events for a year, across venues in London including Prince Charles Cinema, Genesis, ICA, The Castle Cinema and with partners such as Film4, MUBI, Shudder and the BFI. In Autumn 2018, The Final Girls launched WE ARE THE WEIRDOS, a UK-wide touring programme of 10 short horror films, all directed by women. The programme premiered at the 50th Sitges International Fantastic Film Festival and played at cinemas UK-wide across a 2 week period. You can find more details about the 2017 programme and some of the press coverage here: https://www.thefinalgirls.co.uk/19-we-are-the-weirdos/. We're now looking for your short films for our 2018 edition of WE ARE THE WEIRDOS. Please note, all films must be directed by a woman or female-identifying director and submissions should be fantasy, thriller or horror films.
