My Tuesday starts with an old fashioned low-budget horror film, Five Across The Eyes, a tale of lost cheerleaders and blood. The description claims that directors Ryan Thiessen and Greg Swinson have a "fresh vision." I guess I can ask them since the duo plus actress Sandra Paduch will be there in person.
While working with Mojo Press, I had the honor of editing a collection of Moebius’ classic Blueberry comic. Now I get to see a retrospective of this amazing artist’s life and career. Moebius Redux: A Life in Pictures really brings out my inner geek unlike any other film in the Festival. Director Hasko Baumann and editor Martin Eberle will be there in person. Too bad Jean "Moebius" Giraud couldn’t make it himself.
I’m a sucker for a well done time-travel thriller. If Timecrimes aka: Cronoscrimines is as half as interesting as the description makes it sound, I’m in for a hell of a good time. If not, I can complain to Director Nacho Vigalondo and producer Nahikari Ipiña who will be there in person!
What would a sf film festival be without at least one post-apocalyptic thriller? My second zombie feature of the festival, The Cold Hour aka: La Hora Fria tells the tale of seven adults and two children trapped in a huge building confronting mindless and not so mindless mutants. Promises to be a story of style. We’ll see.
Three days until the Festival starts and two days left to preview…
