South
Africa
doesn't
have
a
huge
legacy
when
it
comes
to
Horror,
Scary,
or
Freaky
Cult
movies.
We
hope
to
change
this
perception
by
enhancing
each
year's
schedule
with
a
collection
of
locally
made
short
flix
from
the
darkside.
We
encourage
more
moviemakers
to
go
out
and
shoot
that
off-centre
project
they've
been
putting
off,
as
there
is
now
a
platform
for
them.
This
first
collection,
Distorted
Visions,
include
dark,
grissly,
and
bloody
short
tales
from
fiction
and
documentary
subjeccts
to
animation
and
music
videos.
They
include
an
AFDA
produced
short
(Dark
Farm),
and
one
from
Paul
A.
Blom,
our
festival
director
(imPERFECTION).

George
A.
Romero's
first
classic
Zombie
flick
re-invented
an
entire
genre.
With
true
filmmaking
ingenuity
he
created
a
shocking
and
memorable
landmark
film
without
a
huge
budget.
With
the
dead
rising
and
craving
the
flesh
of
the
living,
survivors
grouping
in
a
farm
house
not
only
have
to
guard
against
the
zombies
trying
to
force
their
way
in,
but
also
avoid
their
inner
tensions
from
tearing
each
other
apart.
