The event has come and gone, but the memories will remain. Sunday, July 17th, marked the date of the 2011 Viscera Women’s Film Festival. The celebration of female-made horror films was hosted by Founder/Director of Operations Shannon Lark and Director of Programming Heidi Honeycutt in the beautiful Silent Movie Theatre in Los Angeles, and along with a recap we have the winners to share.
From the Press Release:
Horror fans from around the globe showed support with product and service donations as well as their attendance. With the legendary theater packed to bursting and festivities overflowing on the lush green patio, the entire Viscera team is overwhelmed with gratitude for everyone who helped make it all happen. Most importantly, though, are the filmmakers and their triumphs. The films screened received recognition for being stellar examples of their craft.

We're co-running the Viscera Film Festival, showing the best new short horror films directed by women, just like we did last year. Here's our 2011 lineup.
It's been pretty cut-throat. Out of over 80 submissions, we struggled and wept and co-director Shannon Lark and I beat each other up over what our final lineup would be. In the end, we decided, only the best of the best could play, so we counted and recounted our judges tallies and agreed that again we'd show way too many films and have our fest run way too long.
These films are just too good to not screen. We couldn't eliminate any of them. I have to be honest: I love every film on this list. We're got some Us premieres that we're especially excited about! The 2011 Viscera Film Festival Films are:
The Party’S Over by Gigi Romero
Bon Apetit by Kate Shenton
