When a narcissistic filmmaker discovers the Murphys, an Irish family with an undead son, he jumps at the opportunity to document their story. With an amateur crew, he travels to Dublin where the word “zombie” is all too common. While filming, the community scorns the decision to allow their son to live, yet the Murphy’s strong morals won’t permit giving up on their once golden child. With the zombie epidemic growing and as riots against the family climax, the echo of lulling moans and the odor of rotting flesh are alive in the city of Dublin. How long can you stick to your morals when everyone questions them? — Dustin Coleman
Ghost stories are just urban myths, or so Mirai and Haruna thought when they hosted a paranormal video event on their pop culture talk show. But when a tragic suicide from decades ago inexplicably appears on their powered-down television, the girls must complete a demonological ritual to bring peace to this mystery. P.O.V: A Cursed Film holds true to Japanese horror form, while Norio Tsuruta (Director: Ring 0, Premonition) activates our fear of the imaginary becoming more real than we can handle. The moment you start to feel safe, you see a visage in the window, a door open on its own, and you realize you are not alone. — Kyle Burt

Just nine months after the passing of the legendary Richard Leacock, iconic innovator in the film industry, Jane Weiner pays homage and provides her perspective on Leacock’s impact. Four decades in the making and shot using Leacock’s prototype of the Super 8 synch-sound small format camera, she takes the audience on her quest to document Leacock’s reflection on his influence as a filmmaker: to deliver the feeling of being there. With over 55 films in Leacock’s career spanning 60 years, Weiner aides in the completion of his final work: a memoir of his life.—Kyle Burt
Producers tell screenwriter Sergio (Fele Martinez) that his script has no substance and no story. How can a screenwriter describe a place to which he has never been? Determined to have his vision seen, Sergio visits the setting of his script: Chile’s Atacama Desert, the driest desert in the world. There, oddly mistaken for a small town hero, Sergio is thrown into a modern western thriller, fighting for a story, while evading an evil foe. Dodging stand-offs and bar brawls, he never forgets to document his misfortunes and hallucinations as substance for his new manuscript. Immersed in his fantastic reality, Sergio plays his own protagonist, embracing a whole range of experiences, breathing life into his film. – Athena Chow
