Etheria Film Festival 2021: A Nine-Course Feast of Genre Goodness
The Etheria Film Festival was founded by former Viscera Film Festival staff Heidi Honeycutt, Stacy Pippi Hammon, and Kayleviteo in 2014 as an LA-based genre film festival for short films directed by women. Bringing audiences an expertly curated lineup of horror, sci-fi, action, fantasy, dark comedy, and thriller shorts and features since the beginning, Etheria Film Festival continues to deliver chills and exposure to a new crop of creators, directors, and talent year after year.
Starting today, June 25th through July 25, 2021 you can stream the films on Shudder. The festival selections this year are:
Who Goes There (Director Astrid Thorvaldsen), Eye Exam (Director Aislinn Clarke), Polvotron 500 (Director Silvia Conesa), The Gray (Director Myra Aquino), Misfits (Director Ciani Rey Walker), Bootstrapped (Director Katy Erin), You Will Never be Back (Director Monica Mateo), Narrow (Director Anna Chazelle), and The Fourth Wall (Director Kelsey Bollig).
Head over to Shudder and watch Etheria Film Festival 2021, and also check out Etheria’s 2020 lineup which is also available. After you’re done with those, if you want even more amazing genre content from women creators, curators, and talent, go to www.etheriafilmnight.com for more information about the selections and the previous film festivals.

The vampire has seen many forms and varied representations in films for over a century - ranging from the slow, romantic sensuous aristocrat to the savage, bestial monster, much akin to the zombie Among them, one of the most iconic is Anders Hove’s portrayal of the nefarious Radu Vladislas in the Subspecies series from Full Moon Pictures.
