San Francisco, are you ready for us!? We are closing out the year in spectacular fashion as Carolina Parakeet heads to the Bay Area for the 11th Annual Another Hole in the Head International Genre Film Festival! Check out our film at the New People Cinema in Japantown, and revel in the festival's parties and special events while you're there! Don't miss our San Francisco Premiere!
The schedule will be announced soon, and when it does, we'll update our site with all the details!
Another Hole in the Head film festival features the best indie horror/sci-fi feature films and shorts from around the world. Our annual festival of horror, sci-fi, dark fantasy and exploitation cinema defies convention to bring you the most outrageous genre films from both emerging and established filmmakers. Three weeks of celluloid mayhem not usually found in your local cineplex!
“San Francisco’s original genre film festival is characterized by a scrappy, DIY aesthetic that eschews big studio content and recent trends towards elevated genre. Holehead’s programming remains curatorially committed to the genre’s graphic roots in shockploitation, visceral thrills and gleeful mayhem.” – Michael Guillen, The Evening Class
SF Indiefest is a year-round, 501c3 non-profit organization that has been operating since 1998. We present three annual festivals: the SF Independent Film Festival (SF Indie for short), the SF Documentary Festival (DocFest for short) and Another Hole in the Head, our genre film festival. Last year over 21,000 film and event goers attended SF Indiefest events.

You can also check out the full slate of Short Films, us included, here: http://oshkoshhorror.com/ohff/films/shorts/
The objective of the OHFF is simple: showcase independent horror. Both feature length and short films will be shown. There will be no awards for the films and no contests held. We are not a flashy festival. The OHFF is a clear cut event to do nothing more than celebrate independent horror. If you’re a filmmaker with an ego, this fest might not be for you. Sincerely.
