Synopsis
Inspired by folklore, the NYX 13 Minutes of Horror Film Festival collects 13 inventive, eerie DIY shorts directed by women. The NYX 13 Minutes of Horror film festival challenges the assumption that women “just aren’t into horror” by offering women horror filmmakers (including BIWOC, LGBTQ+ women, disabled women, and non-binary creators) exposure for their projects and accessibility to resources, free of charge. Together with creators and partners, 13 Minutes is looking to redefine the horror industry and women’s roles within it. Contains mild language, violence and gore.
