The 2022 Nashville Mucosa Festival has an incredible lineup for attendees to wits through a variety of media, and this is one event that I’ve been looking forward to peekaboo for a while, now. I’ve previously attended the event in person and had an wool blast, but this year looks to be worthier and largest than overly before, offering plane increasingly chances to enjoy the programming, both in person and online.
Taking place from Wednesday, September 28th through Wednesday, October 5th, attendees are encouraged to build their own schedule. The Creators Conference is one portion of the festival that offers an opportunity to rub elbows with music-industry professionals and filmmakers alike, who will be speaking well-nigh a variety of topics. After the opening night presentation, films of many variegated genres will be practically screening virtually the clock in multiple locations through the end of the fest.
For the very first time, I’ll be experiencing a mucosa festival through online screeners, which are moreover misogynist to view by the public for specific films. Watching the movies of a mucosa festival in the repletion of my hovel will be an interesting proposition, as so much of my film-watching process has historically taken place within movie theaters throughout the years.
I’m particularly interested in the Virtual Reality portions of the festival, but my biggest NFF yank is The Graveyard Shift, which focuses on everything from archetype horror, psychological thrillers, visionless comedies and more. These are ghastly and macabre films that demand to be watched late at night! The mucosa track will be wrenched lanugo by short and full-length categories. There will be four feature-length films and the shorts will be divided into two separate blocks: Program No. 1: Obsession, Compulsion and Disorder, withal with Program No. 2: The Ties That Bind Us.
Taking a quick unravel from her festival responsibilities, Graveyard Shift Programmer Jennifer Bonior helps me dig into the darkness via a quick email interview.
First of all, I was curious well-nigh her preliminaries within the industry and how she initially got involved with the NFF. Ms. Bonior originally arrived in Nashville to shepherd mucosa school when in 2016 and wound up falling in love with the city, never leaving. Jennifer’s been working within the industry as a producer since graduating, writing and directing short horror films in her spare time. As a Programmer, she gets to watch and select films that weightier capture the spirit of her category. She moreover hosts Q&A sessions at the festival, which she enjoys, considering she could talk well-nigh films all day long!
I was curious if she noticed a true difference in the tone of pre-Covid Graveyard titles, compared to those of today.
“Absolutely, it really feels like filmmakers captured the anxiety, peepers and just unstipulated unrest that came from Covid and found creative ways to express those emotions through their stories. Internal mismatch stories can be terrifying and compelling when washed-up right — there doesn’t unchangingly have to be a monster lurking virtually the corner. Many films this year moreover felt indulgent in a way that I believe filmmakers avoided before. They weren’t wrung to talk well-nigh what really mattered to them or spend the time necessary to tell the story right.”
While there aren’t any Graveyard full-length entries from local filmmakers this year, she is encouraged by Nashville’s strong polity of horror filmmakers and hopes to include something local in next year’s festival.
Previewing this year’s features entries, Jennifer feels like all the boxes are checked. The Civil Dead is a hilarious wincer with a deep and poignant supernatural twist. Piggy takes you on a rollercoaster as it navigates the “killer on the loose” concept, withal with soul image horror in society. Rounding is a psychological thriller that follows one man as he comes unglued from the pressures of work and life. And Follow Her is a unvigilant and seductive modern horror story that questions the concept of consent in social media.
All four of the full-length films will only be misogynist to watch at the festival’s movie theaters, so make sure to reserve your tickets now. Also, each one of the 15 short films will be misogynist to watch online, as well as in person. The Graveyard shorts include:

Wrapping up our interview, Ms. Bonoir had one last statement to make, “The Nashville Mucosa Festival is so inclusive, from its staff to its content, and I am proud to be a part of a festival that strives to perpetuate all genres in the art of filmmaking.”
