Running a horror festival is not for the faint of heart.
Kier-La Janisse single-handedly created and executed CineMuerte, Canada’s first International Horror Film Festival, from the dark depths of the die-hard underground into a full on cinematic city experience. The festival managed to rise from the dead again, again, corrupting the minds and assaulting the senses of literally 1000’s of unsuspecting audience members for a solid seven years; solely supported on her descent, but slight salary at Black Dog, the neighborhood alternative video store.
Beauty is defiantly in the eye of the beholder and becomes an absolute asset to keep this impious baby alive. From Kier-La’s battles with the British Columbia Censor board to the monster sized tenacity required to bring all these pieces together, all the while conquering her own personal demons, proves tireless. “I enjoyed every minute of this affectionate portrait of a fellow horror-obsessive…” Michael GinGold – Fangoria
Kier-La’s tumultuous past provides her with a unique ability to recognize the significance of these narratives amidst the extremity of horror, successfully broadening the definition of the genre and therefore its audience. Celluloid Horror captures “…what pure drive – coupled with a taste for extreme weirdness – can attain”. Walter Addiego - San Francisco Chronicle.
Featuring dynamic appearances by Udo Kier (Flesh for Frankenstein), Jeff Lieberman (Squirm), Buddy Giovinazzo (Combat Shock), and delving into the likes of Jean Rollin (Requiem for a Vampire) and Jorg Buttgereit (Nekromantic). A spattering of blood-soaked moments, courtesy of some the most villainous films of our time, such as Douglas Buck’s Cutting Moments, Paulus Manker’s, The Moors Head, Narciso Ibanez Serrador’s, Who Could Kill a Child?, Japan’s Mermaid in a Manhole, Spain’s own chainsaw massacre, Pieces, Lucio Fulci’s The Beyond, Andrzej Zulwski’s Possession, and Italy’s infamous, Cannibal Holocaust, a film still banned in over 30 countries to this day.
Warning: People have experienced mental disturbance and physical instability while in attendance at CineMuerte. I dare you to try this at home.
