Shorts Program 5: Mindbenders

Running time: 111 mins

Wait, is this real?

Mindbenders exist for one reason alone – to blow your minds wide open! This year, we explore the fringes, and the gooey gristly insides, of incredible and satisfyingly strange stories. Whether they’re about weird, and slightly sinister hotel room parties, or intense, and exceptionally sinister, auditions, Mindbenders aim to serve up that plate of the devilishly demented cinema you so desire. Mindbenders will take you to a distant and unusual world, from which might not want to come back! – Chris Garcia
