Two more film festivals have let the Familiar into their house: The Atlanta Horror Film Festival and the Action On International Film Festival.
About the Atlanta Horror Film Festival: since 2006, the festival has been a favorite of filmmakers and fans from Atlanta and beyond. Our focus is to celebrate independent cinema, and we strive to feature as many great films as we can during this great weekend of horror. We will showcase the very best horror, sci-fi, gore, mysteries, dark comedies, experimentals, creepy, campy films of almost every genre you can imagine! Although we love traditional horror, we are not attempting to create the typical showcase of blood and guts. We are looking for cutting-edge films that represent the new genre of horror – films that audiences can’t and won’t forget.
