BEST OF MIDNIGHT PROGRAM

In the organizer's words:

Enough with the tokenization of women* as objects or prettified victims. The Final Girls Berlin Film Festival presents horror cinema directed, written or produced by women* and non-binary people. They give space to female voices and perspectives in the horror genre, whether monstrous or heroic. As an epilogue, we are showing a best-of of their short film segment MIDNIGHT PROGRAM.

With an introduction by and discussion with Sara Neidorf from the "Final Girls Berlin Film Festival".
