The VISCERA Film Festival, a fest produced by horror production company the Chainsaw Mafia, is currently accepting submissions for 2008.

VISCERA is a Film Festival for women directed/produced productions with an emphasis on women only productions.  

VISCERA's Film Festival director, Shannon Lark, created the Festival after getting a group of her friends together to make a film.  "VISCERA is intended to help beginning female horror filmmakers jump into the gigantic bucket of blood and guts, get their feet wet, and really find out if it's a career choice they want to make," says Lark.

To maximize the potential of each Filmmaker, VISCERA hands out an annual VISCERA Award, a monetary prize of $200, to one production consisting completely of the female gender. Other awards include internet distribution and the several Sponsors and Film Festivals that have teamed up with the Chainsaw Mafia to promote the films and the Artists. Website Sponsors are currently viewing the VISCERA 2007 DVD, along with Sponsoring Film Festivals viewing the films for a potential screening at their next festival.

VISCERA 2007, which is now available for purchase in the Slaughter Shop at the Chainsaw Mafia includes officially selected films: Wretched, The Cleaner, When Sally Met Frank, Out of Print, I'm A Little Teapot, It's My Birthday, Snake Pit, BRAINS, and Go Ask Alice.

Clips from these films can be seen here on the 2007 VISCERA trailer.
