Just when we thought, the film would have reached the end of its film festivals tour, here comes the inaugural Amberg Horror Fest with another chance to show The New Life to German audiences. This festival is shaping up to be a very exciting event full of horror features, shorts and other genre specific attractions too. The festival's aim is to showcase the best of all that is genre, including slasher, thriller, experimental and much, much more! Check their website for more details.

The Amberg Horror Fest will be running from October 28th to November 2nd at the Amberger Kinos, Amberg. The New Life will screen on November 2nd at 11pm.

Our previous short film Twitch had its festival premiere at the very first edition of MUFF in the year 2000. Now in its ninth year, the event has grown and matured enormously, and it looks like it will host the last festival screening of The New Life, after exactly two years of the film doing the rounds across the world. MUFF's program spans for ten days and it looks very promising, including local and international premieres of truly independent films with a skew towards genre.

The screening of The New Life will take place on Friday 17th October at 7pm at the Noise Bar, 291 Albert Street, Brunswick.

Blue Moon Cabaret promises to tantalise you. The Vanguard Newtown will host a night of cutting edge cabaret arts. Main attractions include vaudelesque, charmed snake burlesque, and Victorian parlour magic; all hosted by a surprise Master of Ceremony. And of course, a line up of selected horror films will also be part of the soiree, and we think it's a fantastic context for The New Life, in particular for Kaja's Succubus character.

Under The Blue Moon takes place at different venues from September 27th to October 6th. Blue Moon Cabaret is on Thursday 2nd October at The Vanguard, 42 King Street, Newtown. Doors open at 7pm, show begins at 8:30pm.

The October program promises a selection of dark and twisty films guaranteed to have you squirming and averting people�s gazes. Caught Short screens films of any style, on any subject and from any corner of the globe. Providing an inclusive and relaxed, non-competitive screening space, Caught Short is committed to giving audiences a variety of screen adventures while creating a dialogue between audiences and filmmakers. It is great to have another opportunity to screen The New Life in Sydney.

This event will take place on Thursday 2nd October at 8pm at the Tap Gallery, 278 Palmer Street, Darlinghurst. Tickets will be sold at the door.

SFF Rated started out as a retrospective of Greek Sci-Fi & Fantasy shorts, but it quickly evolved into an International Short Film Festival. The 2007 event was a big success, so they decided to go truly global this year - with a cash prize too. In addition to the 38 shorts in competition, they will also show six feature films. According to the organisers, this year's selection is the most inspired and challenging in the festival's history.

SFF Rated will take place from 10th to 13th April 2008 at the Mikrokosmos Cinema of Athens. The New Life will screen on Sunday 13th April at 7:30pm.

As billed by the festival's organisers, this is a chance to see three accomplished Australian genre directors, whose award winning films have screened at dozens of festivals around the world, play their blood-drenched shorts and answer your questions about horror filmmaking. It is very likely that actress Kaja Tr�a, who won the Scream Queen Award last year, and actor Salvatore Coco will attend the screening too.

How to Make an Award Winning Short Horror Film, Special pre-festival screening! Wednesday 2nd April at 7:30pm only at the Mu-Meson Archives! Cnr. of Parramatta Rd and Trafalgar St, Annandale. Tickets available at the door for $10 each.

This is a great honour for us, since we didn't even submit the film but it was requested by the festival's director who happened to see it last year. It is also an honour because of the magnitude of this event, one of the biggest genre film festivals in the world. This year Fantasporto will receive the Coen Brothers, Stephen King, Frank Darabont and actor Max Von Sydow, who'll receive an award to his career. Among the shorts selected, there are works by the likes of Lars Van Trier, which is a clear indication of the high level of the program. The New Life seems to be the only Australian film in the entire line-up.

Fantasporto will take place from February 25th to March 9th. The New Life screens on Sunday 2nd March at 5:30pm at the Pequeno Audit�rio do Teatro Rivoli.

This is an excellent opportunity to show The New Life in its home country after the long round of festivals in which the film has participated overseas.

The festival features many different categories including narrative shorts, docos and animations.

During its fifteen years of existence, this festival has become one of Latin America's most important. Short films have conquered their own cultural space in Chile and they are actually booming as a form which has even made its incursion in cinemas and TV channels. This wouldn't be the case if the Santiago Short Film Festival wasn't there. Throughout the years, they have played more than 2500 shorts, and brought home the best exponents from around the world to the thousands of viewers who attend the event every year.

The Santiago International Short Film Festival will take place from November 8th to 14th in the Cine Hoyts, La Reina, Santiago, Chile.

This is the only film festival dedicated to show shorts from both sides of the Tasman. It is a great opportunity for local filmmakers as the festival tours around New Zealand's four major cities: Auckland, Dunedin, Christchurch and Wellington. This will be the New Zealand's premiere of The New Life, and ironically, that will give the film a bigger exposure over there than what it has had in Australia. Director Daniel Giambruno is likely to attend one of the last screenings of the festival.

Show Me Shorts Film Festival will take place from November 8th to December 1st 2007. The New Life will screen as part of the block entitled I See Dead People.

Since its first event, the Filmstock International Film Festival has seen many changes. However, the devotion to independent shorts, features and documentaries remains, along with the idea that the filmmaker should be welcomed with open arms but treated no differently to the audience or festival team. Daniel Giambruno's previous short Twitch was screened here in 2001 when the event was barely one year old. Daniel will be able to attend the upcoming edition to present The New Life in person and finally get to meet the festival's organisers.

Red Blood Buenos Aires is the only festival specialised in fantasy, horror and bizarre films in Argentina.

This out-of-competition screening is possible thanks to the fact that this festival will be showing the winning Australian line-up of A Night Of Horror, where Kaja won the Scream Queen Award. It is an excellent opportunity for people to see The New Life in France, a country where festivals seem reluctant to show English speaking horror/fantasy films, particularly if they are as atmospheric as The New Life since these festivals seem to be polarised between those which will reject anything supernatural, and those which will only embrace the goriest horror films. So this is a great chance to screen our film in France and we're very thankful for it.

Weekend de la Peur takes place from 23rd to 26th August. The New Life, and the rest of the Australian line-up, will screen on Friday 24th at 9am at the Salle de Cin�ma "Maison pour Tous" in Lac de St Cassien, Montauroux, France.

2007 is the official 11th anniversary of WOF, but it started earlier, around 17 years ago. The makers of HOWL Magazine thought that something had to be done to give horror a chance in the German film festival landscape. WOF has become a �cult� festival but it's still an independent �show�, working without any financial support from the German government, but as its organisers say: "It's bad to have less money to organize, but it gives us free hand to do what we want". Around 400 to 700 people party out throughout three nights with the WOF team.
