shareWhether in a dingy bar, our very own bed, or a perfectly manicured household, fear of things beyond our control haunt us. When the lights go out for this block of short films, expect disturbing historical truths, jump scares, body horror – along with a healthy dose of animation, surprising laughs, and moving moments. These films will leave you wondering who holds the control, and whether or not any of us really have any power when night falls.
Program curated by Phoebe Schaub and David Tanh.
Pre-recorded Q&A available with rental.
