The Kick-Off 2011 Event of the Viscera Film Festival will take place on Sunday, July 17th, at the Silent Movie Theater in Los Angeles, Califonia, wherein Viscera pulls out all the stops with a carefully chosen selection of films by women from all over the world.

Special guests, press, and filmmakers will be present to celebrate. A Bloody Carpet Ceremony, award ceremony, Q and A, and after party are all included. Forget Carmageddon – get out and support female horror filmmakers, damnit! Hot chicks into horror – how much better can it get?!?

After the big event several of the films that screened in Los Angeles and many more innovative horror films by women will be featured on the on-going Viscera Tour and Viscera Film Festival DVD, which will be made available to the public in the latter half of 2011. The Viscera Tour will extend across America and in international regions, working with festival directors and promoters to maximize the potential of these films and their creators.

Here’s a bit of background on Viscera, whose board of directors is comprised of Stacy Hammon, Shannon Lark, and Heidi Martinuzzi:

Specializing in short horror films made by the female gender, the Viscera Film Festival hosts an annual bloody carpet event in Los Angeles for the selected filmmakers, special celebrity guests, and a live audience. Each filmmaker receives a hand-crafted Viscera Statue along with promotional materials and the option to be distributed on the next Viscera DVD Compilation. Throughout the year Viscera is continuously working to get the Viscera films screened and promoted all over the world.
