Ottawa's Cellar Door Film Festival celebrates Women in Horror Month with a special Friday the 13th screening of Dys-. Dys-, directed by Montreal's Maude Michaud, is the first Audience Award winner for Best Feature Film at the Cellar Door Film Festival and CDFF can't wait to hit audiences with a second shot of Michaud's bold, raw vision. The film screened to an engaged audience back when Michaud joined the festival for its inaugural edition in 2014.
The feature presentation of Dys- will be preceded by a screening of Michaud's 2009 short film Reflection and Michaud will join us for a Skype Q&A after the film to chat all things great about the combo of girls and gore.
The film screens for FREE on Friday the 13th at 7:00pm in 100 St. Pat's at Carleton University and is sponsored by the School for Studies in Art and Culture and the School of Canadian Studies (Carleton University) and Cellar Door Film Festival as part of Women in Horror Month.
