IndieCork Film Festival, 7. Out on Film: Atlanta's LGBTQ Film Fes and 8. Screamfest Horror Film Fest. We will submit to more festivals later this year.

Kia Ora lovely donors,   We have great news about Illuminati Castrati.   The short has been accepted into its first film festival, the queer-feminist Squish Movie Camp in Rotterdam.   According to their website, Squish is a queer-feminist cultural platform supporting primarily LGBTQ+ culture makers and, more generally, proletarian artists. The organization questions identity politics with an intersectional approach through the development of various multidisciplinary events, emphasizing self-representation and peer support. Squish Movie Camp is a new recurring program of the organization. It is a research hub on working class, BIPOC, queer and feminist filmic history and a platform for a new generation of artists embodying their legacy. As always, we would like to thank you all for your support in making this happen. We hope you and yours are well." Thanks, Ani
