We’re only a few months away from my favorite time of year! That’s right, it’s time to head back to Cinema Summer Camp aka Chattanooga Film Festival in June! I thought it would be fun to round up some of the programming I’m especially excited about, all of which is virtual!
Cannibal Mukbang
Of course, the programming I am thrilled to share is all gastro horror or gastro horror adjacent. From cannibal mukbangs to James Beard Award-winning chefs, there is something for every palette.
- Butterscotch– A young bully bites off more than he can chew when he messes with the wrong old man in a nursing home.
- Cannibal Mukbang– An introverted nerd finds himself dangerously deep inside the crazy world of mukbanging after he falls head over heels for a mysterious woman.
- Good Girls Get Fed– Held under surveillance, three female strangers are forced to perform twisted challenges for food as failures mount and their secret escape plan is thrust into peril.
- Gum– An obsessive gum chewer works through the night to meet a deadline. As he chews…sinister things begin to happen.
- Hot Soda– Outraged over the approval to double the fracking operations devastating her hometown, a young woman is forced by her sick father to serve the fracking company’s CEO when he dines at their failing restaurant. (this one is less horror but still gastro themed)
- Madame Hattori’s Izakaya– Madame Hattori’s Izakaya is a thriller short film about a renowned chef and the twisted evening of her coveted private dinner.
Madame Hattori’s Izakaya
- The Thaw– In 19th century Vermont, a young woman’s parents drink sleeping tea in order to survive the harsh winter, but an early thaw leads to horrifying results.
- Two Women Make a Lunch Plans– Two women—who have neither seen nor heard from one another in quite some time—run into each other while out and about and make a plan to get lunch sometime in the future.
