I mentioned today I was going to a film festival starting tomorrow and I had someone ask, “What film festival?” The only one they could think of here in Utah is Sundance.I’ll give Sundance its due that it does well and is internationally recognized, but it is not the only film festival in Utah with those credentials.
FilmQuest (website) is a film festival for science-fiction, fantasy, and horror.
Last year was the first year I attended and I was impressed. In just over a week I watched a lot of movies. They were from short films, presented in blocks, and feature films. Over the year some have made it to theatrical release and awards around the world.
It was an enjoyable time.
Here is a quick list of the reviews I wrote last year with links to the articles.
Dead Shack (link) horror
The Gateway (link) sci-fi/horror
Curvature (link) sci-fi
Dead Leaves (link) sci-fi (post-apocalyptic)
The Secret Garden (link) steampunk
Gnaw (link) horror
Diani and Devine Meet the Apocalypse (link) comedy sci-fi
Flora (link) historical sci-fi/horror
Please, let me know if you enjoy any of these. This year’s reviews will be coming soon.
Thanks,
Dan
