United States · Multiple structural red flags — exercise caution before submitting
SlimeFest in the United States is a niche independent film festival that emphasizes horror, comedy, and science fiction with a deliberately “shock” and “schlock” sensibility. It is notable for its offbeat programming, including separate blocks for out-of-state and Colorado-made films, no screening fees, and awards that celebrate both serious and intentionally lowbrow genre work, making it a distinctive small-circuit event for unconventional filmmakers.[1]
