Lisa Battocchio is our previous Best Director winner. In our interview, she talks about her #shortfilm Cochlea. If you are a #filmmaker submit it to the Sur-REEL & Uncanny Film Fest. You could be the next Best Director winner. #indiefilm #filmfestival https://t.co/yxGHsPowQD

Filmmakers today, take their freedoms for granted. In 1930, the #Surrealist film L'Age d'Or by #LuisBuñuel and #SalvadorDali was banned because it threatened the established order. Right-wing activists attacked the #cinema and destroyed Dali's #art on display in the cinema.

"In his essay on the Uncanny, #Freud said that the #Uncanny is the only feeling which is more powerfully experienced in art than in real life." - Stanley Kubrick

ZMIENA won BEST #FILM category at the #Horror Fest. This #shortfilm is a Kafkaesque vision of one man's grotesque and transformative inner turmoil. It also won 2nd Place for #CINEMATOGRAPHY & #EDITING #indiefilm #filmfestival #horrorfilm @RurikSalle

We had the exact replica of the Coronation Chair at our #filmfestival. The real Coronation Chair in Westminster Abbey is used to crown Britain’s kings & queens. But we use ours to crown festival winners. Results soon! (photo of the band @yavenirieamok who performed live at fest)
