THE LONGEST NIGHT: WINTER SOLSTICE, RITUAL AND THE HORROR OF ENDURANCE
A reflection on winter solstice horror, ritual, and endurance, where fear emerges through waiting, misrecognition, and the fragile work of surviving the longest night.

2nd favorite was Dust Bunny -- an 8-year-old hires an assassin to kill the monster under her bed. If you threw Roald Dahl, Tim Burton, John Wick, The Professional into a blender & added a huge dollop of director Bryan Fuller's own vision, you'd have this movie. A treat start to finish

A shout out to the great crew who put together the Anomaly Film Fest! Personal highlights:
By far my favorite was the brilliant Thai film A Useful Ghost. Several movies in one, it's absurdly funny, darkly powerful, deeply substantive, willing to veer 180° from where it begins. A must-see film.
