The short film “STAY” at 20th South African HorrorFest
The short film “STAY” by Luca Canali is in the official selection of 20th South African HorrorFest, which takes place in Cape Town, South Africa, from 30 October to 10 November 2024.
It will be the African Premiere of the short film.
SOUTH AFRICAN HORRORFEST
The SA Horrorfest has been included in prestigious lists of Best Horror Festivals In The World, including Movie Maker Magazine and Dread Central.
2024 is the 20th annual edition of the South African HorrorFest, the original all-encompassing Halloween-season Horror event on the African continent. The Horrorfest includes its main film festival component with feature films and short films from around the world (featuring many premieres); plus a literater and short story competition (resulting in best-of anthologies published) as well as author readings; Halloween dress-up; live movie soundtrack performance to classic silent films and more.
The short film
“STAY” was born with the intention of addressing the most severe of mental symptoms, the second leading cause of death among young people, which paradoxically is spoken about very little: self-injury and suicide.
“Just graduated, Laura works as an usher in her mother’s theatre. The razor blade is her only companion. As she faces her dreaded control round; she discovers that she is not as alone as she thought.”
