A place for underground, bizarre, insane, ludicrous, outlandish, unconventional, preposterous, incephalonamous, unorthodox films.
Every film will be rated on a "Panic Meter" showing how much the audience should be wary of the film they're about to watch, so they can't say we didn't warn them...
All films will screen at the newly reopened, historic Black Lodge in Memphis, TN. Since this festival is run by filmmakers, we know you don't want to screen at 10am on a Sunday, so we don't even have slots like that! We also encourage you to come and sell your movies, merch and other materials at your screening, because we want you to make money too.
In addition to film screenings, there will be a Psychotic Arcade Challenge that awards players for advancing in the world's most terrifying, deranged, and senseless games imaginable. Also featured are several food challenges that will test the limits of all five of your senses.
Memphis and Shelby County filmmakers receive free submission. Please email us at cinematicpanicfestival@gmail.com for more information.
***We are currently exploring the option of taking the festival online. Please stay tuned and we will make a decision once we have more information. Thank you for your patience.***
Awards are chosen entirely by audience choice.
