Buggin' Out

Virus Girl
Virus Girl is an anti-war animation about the limits of morality, told from the point of view of a scientist tasked with finding a new and innovative way to save her nation.
From the Depths
In search of reconciliation, a fracturing couple takes a much-needed vacation. But Ethan spirals into an even-deeper depression when he ventures from their cabin, lured by a Siren beckoning from the depths of the lake. From the Depths is a tense, psychologically grounded take on the ancient Siren genre.
Closed captions available
Chispa
When an electrician working at a mall experiences a peculiar jolt of electricity, she undergoes a transformation that is both haunting and shockingly beautiful.
The Scalpel
A mad doctor transforms into a monstrous killer in this 1936 never-released film by then-19-year old Seattle filmmaker Richard Lyford. Thanks to newly added music from Seattle composer Ed Hartman, Lyford's avant-garde films have found a new audience decades after his death.

Ghouls, ghosts, Frankensteins, oh my! Travel back in time with these campy, throwback monster flicks ranging from the hilarious to the spine-tingling. Featuring a newly restored cut of the ahead-of-its-time 1930’s horror film, The Scalpel, from Seattle auteur Richard Lyford!



Watch this program in person at NWFF, Sep. 27 at 7pm. VIRTUAL, IN-PERSON, and HYBRID (virtual AND in-person) Festival Passes and Individual Tickets are available!
