Here’s a link to the full schedule: http://buriedalivefilmfest.com/schedule/ Come out and see some of the best independent films in the world! This November the Buried Alive Film Fest has a new home at 7 Stages Theatre located in the heart of Little 5 Points Atlanta. Also their new location is connected to the great coffee house and bar, Java Lords, making it easy to grab a drink or coffee and enjoy a beverage in the theatre! They will return with some of the most disturbing, visually appealing, and scary independent horror films in the world. Out of all of the submissions their judges have narrowed it down to this fine selection of horror gems. So grab a drink and see them all on a big screen with nice comfy seats! The modern age of digital film-making has flooded the market with tons of films, one seemingly indistinguishable from the next. The depth and breadth of horror fandom, combined with the rapid growth of independent film-making, have led to an explosion in indie films dealing with the terrifying, macabre, gory, and bizarre. Their films are not for the faint hearted or timid. We pride ourselves on finding the weird, the gross, and the horrifying. With that being said we consider our general festival rating to be 17+ or R-rated. Which means no child under the age of 17 without a proper guardian. The Buried Alive Film Fest comes from the same group of twisted minds and horror film buffs that founded Gorehound Productions and Atlanta Horrorfest 14 years ago. Together they strive to promote true underground filmmaking in the Southeast and beyond, while providing the Atlanta area with the best independent horror has to offer. Their long history of partnership with such Atlanta community standbys as the Chambers of Horror Haunted House, Zombie Walk Atlanta, Zombie Pub Crawl Atlanta, and Splatter Cinema leaves them in a unique position to promote both those new to filmmakers and longtime underground icons. Some of the highlights of the festival are 4th annual Sinema Challenge! See the films that Atlanta filmmakers come up with in 13 days. After randomly drawing a horror genre and a subject card from Cards Against Humanity, they then have 13 days to produce their horror masterpiece. Make sure you are here early for this one of a kind event. It’s a lot of fun and always sells out. Antrum: The Deadliest Movie Ever Made Dir. Michael Laicini and David Amito – USA – 95min Antrum, a feature length film shot in the late 1970’s, is cursed. In 1988, a movie theatre in Budapest that was screening the film burnt to the ground, killing the 56 people who were in attendance. This incident follows the inexplicable deaths of a number of film festival programmers that had received Antrum as a submission and died shortly after watching the film. These events culminated with a riot during an exhibition in San Francisco, after which the film vanished. These events have created a belief that watching Antrum will you kill you. Else Films has successfully tracked down a sole copy of the film for public release. This is that film. VFW Dir. Joe Begos – USA – 91min VFW follows Fred and his military buddies as they must defend their local VFW post – and an innocent teen – against a deranged drug dealer and his relentless army of punk mutants. These Vietnam vets have been to hell and back, but this will be the longest night of their lives. Hell Bound Dir. Ben Winston – USA (Local) – 68min Two reckless bikers on a provocative, nightmarish journey through the mountains. Shot entirely on black and white 16mm film. It invokes the aesthetic of the classic films of the 1970s.   Comments are closed.
