RED CARPET 6:15pm
SCREENING 7:00PM – Q&A AFTER THE SCREENING WITH CAST, JEREMY MOINEAU ALONGSIDE PRODUCER/DIRECTOR, ALICE MAIO MACKAY
When trans true-crime podcaster and amateur detective Lola returns to her hometown for Christmas after fleeing 16 years ago, she is expecting the reaction to her transition to be the biggest drama. Instead, she finds herself facing a chilling challenge; the vengeful ghost of a historical murderer and local urban legend appears to be on a new killing spree.
Lola must unravel the mystery and stop the bloodshed before her town is torn apart. As she dives deeper and looks below the surface, Lola is confronted by not only a deranged, psychotic killer but also a town haunted by dark secrets and hidden truths. Lola employs her crime-cracking skills and enlists the help of her queer community to put a stop to the grisly yet wildly imaginative murders.
Directed by groundbreaking trans filmmaker Alice Maio Mackay, along with genre artist Vera Drew, Carnage for Christmas masterfully fuses side-splitting horror and an insane storyline with transgender themes. Cast: Chris Asimos and Dominique Booth.
WE ARE PLEASED TO PRESENT THE SHORT FILM, OI, PRIOR TO THE FEATURE SCREENING.
