Chattanooga Film Festival Offers a Hybrid Eleventh Edition This Month
Chattanooga Film Festival (https://www.chattfilmfest.org/) celebrates its 11th edition with in-person screenings from June 21–23 and a virtual version — Yes, you can watch some of the films from the comfort of your own home! — from June 21–28, 2024. The lineup is chock full of genre-film goodness and strangeness, with something for cinephiles of every stripe.
Mike and Joseph have their eyes on some films they hope to watch and review for the fest, including the following three features. Descriptions are from the Chattanooga Film Festival website.
A RetroTech Romance about a woman who unlocks the dark dimension of Dr. Analog through an old VCR.
The Fix
A dark, dystopian thrill ride with an environmental slant, The Fix explores identity, perception and autonomy in a frighteningly viable future. A toxic compound infects earth’s atmosphere. Pharmaceutical giant Aethera sells immunity to those who can afford the daily dose . . . most can't. When a troubled model takes a new designer drug at a house party, she suffers a shocking transformation. Pursued by a dangerous gang and authorities in cahoots with Aethera, she hunts desperately for a “fix” to reverse the drug’s effects . . . only to discover that her mutations could save the human race.
Sleep, Wake, Forget
Years after civilization has fallen, two brothers have survived due to a unique gift — the ability to look into the minds of others. Through collected memories of a past they never knew, Max and Liam have learned how to live on their own . . . and how to defend themselves against the infected. But the dangers of this world cannot be avoided forever, and when tragedy strikes, one brother will stop at nothing to save his only family from becoming one of the creatures they have spent their lives running from.
We have also reviewed some of the fest’s features for previous festivals, and the curious can check out our spoiler-free reviews.
