We can think of few better causes than promoting the efforts of female film-makers in the world of horror cinema. Raise a bloodied fist to the good people at the (nicely named) Viscera Film Festival and Symposium. Hosted at University College Dublin by Dr Emma Radley, lecturer at that place, and Viscera founder Shannon Lark, the event runs May 17th and 18th.

The film titles alone demand your eager attention. Screenings include Sophie Lagues's Barbee Butcher, Lis Fies's Consumed, Stacie Ponder's Taste of Flesh, Taste of Fear and – how can you resist? – Lola Rock n Rolla's I Was a Tranny Werewolf.
