Women on the Dark Side Film Festival
Women On The Dark Side began as a very popular panel at pop culture conventions including San Diego Comic-Con International, WonderCon, Long Beach Comic Con, Silicon Valley Comic con and many others. We are delighted to expand the brand into featuring female filmmakers (and those who identify as female) who create on the darker side.
Women are often discouraged from expressing their darker side. We think you should embrace it. Dark doesn't mean just horror. Thrillers, dramas and even comedies can be as dark as horror, if done right.
The festival will be held tentatively at Long Beach Comic Con September 2020.

    • Entries must have a significant amount of women in above-the-line positions - producer, director, writer, cinematographer, lead actors, etc.
    • We encourage you to think outside of the usual tropes of women in darker-themed films and see if you can break those tropes.
    • Entrants who are selected will receive passes for the convention and will be featured on a panel during the convention. All Official Selections may receive a complimentary pass to Long Beach Comic Con. Participants are responsible for their travel expenses to Los Angeles.
    • Films will be judged by industry professionals, including Mette Norkjaer from Boom! Studios, Isabella Mastrodicasa from Heroes and Villains Entertainment, Bhavani Rao Bhavani Entertainment and FirstGlance Film Festivals.

The purpose of the Fiore Art Center is to stimulate and advance the dialogue between human and environment within the context of agriculture and today’s culture at large. We hope to instill passion for preservation through the arts, create awareness and build community.
We do this through exhibitions and public educational events, through research and application of ecologically sustainable farming practices and by hosting residencies for artists on a historic farm.
