ZERO-G: HUNTING THE GENRE MIFFS WITH LE JAN !!!
The big block for horror genre buffs this year is the NIGHT SHIFT
bracket, with its eclectic cache of cult movies and the big
George Romero with its Zombie feast (at which the director
himself is the main course as he sets foot, and presumably other
body parts in Melbourne during the festival), and as usual there
are also many individual movies and documentaries of interest in
the broader festival which I'll also preview.
As I shamble my undead way through the festival I’ll keep my
milky white eyes* open for the choice Science Fiction, Fantasy,
Historical and related morsels from the MIFF.
*Fun Factoid! Zombie eyes are often portrayed as milky because
they don’t blink and therefore the eyeballs get scratched and
scuffed by dust
and grit. It’s Windex time!
The films are in alphabetical order.....
Title first, then the sub-programme in brackets, followed by the
other details.
