Final Girls Berlin Film Festival showcases horror cinema that’s directed, written, or produced by women and non-binary filmmakers. They are committed to creating space for female voices and visions, whether monstrous, heroic or some messy combination of the two, in the horror genre.

We’re excited to be joined by Snowflakes director Faye Jackson to discuss womxn in sci-fi filmmaking in a Q&A hosted by Zodiac Film Club’s Sarah Kathryn Cleaver.
