Nine short films directed by women, all falling into the horror, science fiction, fantasy, thriller, and dark comedy genres.

These nine short films from emerging women directors showcase their amazing skills as genre filmmakers: WAFFLE is a grim, brilliant satire about human interaction in the age of apps; MAGGIE MAY is a gut-wrenching horror story about inaction and apathy; BASIC WITCH carefully deconstructs the complexities of sexual consent (with magic); CONVERSION THERAPIST channels revenge and repression into one terrifying torture session; OFFBEAT creates a fantastic science fiction world populated by relatable heroes; THE FINAL GIRL RETURNS is an atmospheric slasher that traps its characters in a cycle of violence; LIVE contrasts social media personalities with reality, with thought-provoking results; MAN IN THE CORNER quickly switches from erotica to a ghastly and grotesque nightmare; and AVA IN THE END takes only moments to reveal the existential dread that all living beings, artificial and organic, share when faced with death.—Etheria
