7 KILLS, 3 SONGS & A BANANA
MEET FILMMAKER RICHARD FYSH.
A movie that is truly unlike any other. It's got horror and thriller elements, satire, a dusting of LGBT+ community (both as actors and as characters!), musical numbers, and yes, at least one banana.
"Dealing with challenging subjects including homophobia, mental health, grief and murder, 7 Kills deserves some merit for handling these subjects in a comedic way without being offensive."
- Amber Jackson, UK Film Review

VALKYRIE INTERNATIONAL FILM FESTIVAL
VIFF showcases films directed by women of all backgrounds. We chose "Valkyrie International Film Festival" as our name because the Valkyries of Norse mythology were fierce warriors who symbolized strength and empowerment. We view every female director as a Valkyrie, and every woman as a Valkyrie; a force to be reckoned with that refuses to be silenced.
Our mission is to build an annual gathering that shines a spotlight on films created by women, and to advance the cause of women in film. VIFF is an event where female artists will support each other's work. We'll present "Superior Achievement" awards but don't view our festival as a competition.
VIFF was founded by Tamar Lamberson and her daughter, Kaelin Lamberson, and is scheduled to run during Women's History Month (March) each year.
