Heading into the Chattanooga Film Festival, there were a few films that I had my eye on. One that managed to sneak in under my radar, however, was a quiet, unassuming title directed by first-time feature film directing duo Perry Home Video called Soft Liquid Center, which centers around a character trying to extricate herself from an ex-boyfriend who refuses to move on. It’s a deeply unsettling film dripping with style, so unlike any other film you may have seen and yet seems so effortlessly familiar. 

Finally, audiences will get to see the dark art of yoga for what it truly is. Coming into Chattanooga Film Festival, Mind Body Spirit, a found footage-style horror film about a hopeful yoga influencer, was one of the higher profile draws featured in the festival’s lineup.

The horror genre is well suited for the short-film format, allowing filmmakers to explore their creativity, often leading directly to bigger productions and full-length adaptations.
