Canadian horror and fantasy festival Blood in the Snow returns with its 2016 feature film lineup
Canada’s premiere homegrown genre film fest Blood in the Snow Canadian Film Festival (BITS) dropped its full 2016 line-up over the weekend at Horror-Rama in Toronto. BITS will be showing a record number of 33 films (9 features and 24 shorts) over 14 exciting programs. The Festival runs from November 24th to the 27th at Cineplex Cinemas Yonge-Dundas in Toronto.
The Festival opens with the festival’s first ever documentary feature, 24X36: A Movie About Movie Poster, which recently premiered at Fantastic Fest. The lineup includes three World Premiere features, including Torin Langen’s silent horror anthology 3 Dead Trick Or Treaters, the dark drama Streamer by Jared Bratt and Vincent Pun, and Jason Armstrong’s long-awaited feature Inspiration, as well as Toronto premieres of Fantasia critical favorites The Unseen (shown above) and Kidnap Capital.
Also on Friday, November 25, BITS is hosting three educational panels covering essential topics for indie filmmakers in distribution, funding, and legal issues for movie making.
On Saturday, November 26, Thom Ernst, known for TVO’s Saturday Night at the Movies, is hosting “Making Movies the Canadian Way,” a panel with legends of Canadian horror.
The Festival also has the return of the fan-favorite BITS SHORT FILM SHOWCASE on Saturday night. Canadian indie giant Black Fawn Films close the Festival with the Toronto Premiere of The Sublet.
Festival passes are $85 and Industry Passes for the educational panels are $40. Individual tickets will be on sale soon.
