SILVER SCREAMERS (2026)

Have you always dreamed of seeing your grandmother devoured by a voracious carpet? Or your half-deaf grandfather working as a sound engineer for a horror film? Well, Sean Cisterna has made it come true for you! He killed a flock of birds with one stone by scouring Ontario’s retirement homes in search of motivated …and free labor. But not only that: he offered a group of seniors the chance to stop waiting around at death’s threshold and pick up the thread of their lives again. And he did so with a unique project: shooting a short horror film from start to finish! In a society that shoves senior citizens into the bargain bins of productivity, SILVER SCREAMERS offers the most beautiful intergenerational response there is. A shot of feel-good, straight into your veins, akin to ALIEN ON STAGE (BIFFF 2021)!
