We are proud to announce that, during its seventh edition, the Bogotá Horror Film Festival awarded Thanatomorphosea Special Mention in the Transgressive Film category.
Granted by the international jury chaired by Michael Berryman, this distinction highlights the film’s radical vision, visual power, and artistic boldness, which explore the boundaries of the body and horror through a unique and striking creative approach.
This recognition further establishes Thanatomorphose as a reference point in contemporary transgressive cinema, celebrating the strength of the genre as an extreme, symbolic, and deeply human form of artistic expression.
One of Canada’s most controversial filmmakers, Éric Falardeau, appeared on the TV show Jhon Jatenjor’s Interviews to discuss his film Thanatomorphose and other wilder productions in the history of transgressive and adult cinema.
Jhon Jatenjor’s Interviews is a Colombian television program with emphasis to stand out in the international environment on interviews to film celebrities, through simultaneous translations. The purpose of this digital and physical media is to highlight the neutrality of the interviewees given their passion for art in general.
Director de cine, escritor y músico canadiense, Éric Falardeau nos comparte sus ideas sobre el horror como experiencia límite, la pornografía y los fluidos corporales. Bon appétit.

There was a sense of wonder and occasional disbelief when scouring the horror section of independent video stores during their heyday, coming across a vampire covered with bubbling, oozing flesh, or an eyeball laying on the ground still tethered to its socket by various icky tissues, or a head split in two, the tongue unfurled between the crevice like a Fruit Roll-up.
Graveface Publishing presents Justin Burning’s debut book, HAND-HELD HELL, a morbidly curious look at 44 outrageous works of underground cinematic horror created during and inspired by the technological, cultural, and historical circumstances of the home-spun horror era, including in-depth interviews with 22 audacious filmmakers like Mark Polonia (Splatter Farm), Nathan Schiff (The Long Island Cannibal Massacre), Tim Ritter (Truth or Dare? A Critical Madness), Donald Farmer (Cannibal Hookers), Fred Vogel (August Underground), Brian Paulin (Bone Sickness), and Scott Schirmer (Found). The 376-page, full-color trade paperback is an irreverent tribute to gonzo DIY horror filmmaking, with an original cover illustration by Chad Keith.
All purchases include a free code to download a companion EP featuring six tracks composed by Justin.
