About festival
BizarroLand exists to celebrate those beautiful deranged freaks making movies with no regard for commercial appeal and for no other audience than the demons in their heads. If you’re bored to tears with that tired old story structure Hollywood has been cramming down your throat your whole life, if nothing exhausts you quite like hearing people debate the finer points of a movie’s “genre,” if you’d rather hammer a rusty nail through an extremity than watch superheroes save the world yet again, then BizarroLand is your home.
The Representation Discount
BizarroLand encourages weirdo filmmakers from historically excluded communities — including (but not limited to) women filmmakers, LGBTQ+ filmmakers, BIPOC filmmakers, and disabled filmmakers — to submit their work at a 25% discount. Email stephen@demonskull.org for the code.
