MidWest WeirdFest is a cinematic celebration of all things fantastic, frightening, off-beat, and just plain weird! Whether your taste in film runs to horror, sci-fi, underground, or strange documentaries, your appetite for the latest in weird cinema will be satiated. The third annual film festival runs March 8-10, at The Micon Downtown Budget Cinema, 315 S. Barstow Street, Eau Claire.
“This year's fest line-up is set to delight fans of cutting edge horror, sci-fi, underground, and documentary cinema”, says festival founder and programming director Dean Bertram. “We've put together a heady and eclectic mix of speculative genre offerings, underground strangeness, and paranormal revelations: From a psychedelic Manson Family reimagining and a post-apocalyptic dance-off epic, through tales about a reanimated electrokinetic teenager, haunted stoners, and inept buddy superheroes, to a bonkers lake monster adventure and the most in-depth Bigfoot documentary ever produced. And that's just from MidWest WeirdFest's first programming wave of 2019!”
Discounted festival passes are now on sale at: www.midwestweirdfest.com.
Individual tickets to each film will go on sale closer to the festival, both on the fest's website, and directly from the Downtown Cinema.
