Shorts have arguably suffered the most in the wake of the mass cinema closures over the last year. Almost always relegated to the dim light of a laptop screen anyway, without our live, in-person, in-cinema film festivals, shorts haven’t been seen big and loud in much too long, and when they have been, have only done so in punishingly small numbers.
But with FrightFest’s return, there’s hope, as the fest and its programmers show no sign of taking a step back with its Short Film Showcases, packing three feature-length slots full of the good stuff. The best of which we’ve cobbled together and outlined below:
David J. Ellison’s Familiar is, as it’s title might suggest, nothing sensationally new. But while it ticks a lot of the classic gothic horror boxes, it’s Ellison’s terrific appetite for atmosphere that makes it a must, building...

What Taylor Swift and documentary filmmaker Lana Wilson are alike in that neither woman is a stranger to awards love in their respective fields. Swift, as we all know, is a Grammy juggernaut and one of the rare artists to have multiple Album of the Year trophies to her name (for “Fearless” and “1989”), and Wilson earned major nominations for her debut documentary “After Tiller” in 2013 and her follow up “The Departure” in 2017.
