After Dark Shorts: Siren Songs

  Various  |  Canada, Iceland, Ireland, Senegal, Switzerland, U.S., Ukraine

In Banshee, a mysterious comb acts as a conduit for the fearsome banshee, unleashing a series of deaths in a 19th century Irish village. Searching for direction following her mother’s death, DĆ«mm’s 17-year-old protagonist finds herself pulled toward a group of glamorous soul-eating women. Embla exposes the dark side of the artist/muse relationship when a wooden woman is brought to life by her creator. A killer gets more than he bargained for when his would-be victim brings him face to face with a group of menacing lesbians in Scissors. Rusalka depicts the siren song of digital desire through the intersecting lives of a taxi driver and a mermaid-turned-camgirl. The titular character in Man Eating Pussy offers a once-in-a-lifetime combination of sex, birth, and death to those willing to pay.
