[Fantasia 2021] The Absurdity of Life & Death in HOTEL POSEIDON

Stefan Lernous’s HOTEL POSEIDON takes us into the absurd, spanning life, death, and a few things in between.

John Adams, Zelda Adams, and Toby Poser have only gotten better (and scarier) with their latest weird, witchy film, HELLBENDER.

Three shorts, each involving the abject + women/their bodies in incredibly different ways.

Three short films, each about killer women subverting various gendered power dynamics.

Two transgressive shorts: one about queer male sexuality, the other about a trans lesbian & a monstrous physical love.

In these two shorts, the past meets the present, in surprising, funny, and terrifying ways.

Social and political hauntings abound in three short films from Ralph Pineda & Dyan Sagenes, Mihir Fadnavis, and Adam Fair.

Two shorts: one involves a macabre mother-daughter relationship, the other concerns a couple revenge stories occurring at once.

One is a story of ghosts, but unlike you’ve ever seen. One is a tale about a resurrected woman who met an untimely end.

Alice Lenay’s documentary digs into posthumanist philosophy about human connections to and relationships with technology.

Kier-La Janisse’s documentary explores folk horror’s roots and its evolution through a wide range of interviews from many perspectives.

And here they are—look upon them!
