Boobs and Blood International Film Festival

An unapologetic celebration of exploitation (horror, thrillers, fantasy, sci-fi, erotic, comedy) culture. With the emphasis on FUN and FUNDRAISING for Breast Cancer Charity the KEEP A BREAST FOUNDATION.

Our first event was held at Quentin Tarantino's NEW BEVERLY CINEMA in Los Angeles and was a massive success. Past festivals have honored "Final Destination" creator JEFFREY REDDICK, Cosplay Superstar BRIGITTE BERLIN and Exploitation Superstar CHRISTINE NGUYEN. Past guests include Fred Olen Ray, Mary Carey, Vernon Wells, Yutaka Ikejima, Bill Oberst Jr., Camden Toy, Lynn Lowry, the Chiodo Bros., Michelle Bauer, Barry Williams, the Suicide Girls, Yumi Yoshiyuki and Kevin Tenney. Past Award Winners include Roger Corman, Quentin Tarantino and Dee Wallace.

We publish the (Rondo Awards nominated) BOOBS & BLOOD magazine and offer all entrants the chance to have their work distributed through our partner FilmFest Distribution.

As it has been for so many of us, 2020 and the first half of 2021 have been tough and filled with obstacles. As a festival our primary concern is to keep the event going and to try to make it a live event as soon as possible, in whatever way we can. The real success of any festival is in getting filmmakers together in-person, to celebrate their work and be able to network - with colleagues and industry insiders.

Having said that, we were devastated to hear that our previous venue and home has now had to close permanently due to the economic impact of the pandemic. With so many similar venues also closing, we thought we would have to close for good too. But, after a long and hurried search, and at the 11th hour, we were lucky to find a new venue. We were able to secure it for our live return with a celebratory Awards Night on Saturday Oct. 2nd 2021.

For the winners there'll be live music, celebrity guests, prizes and complementary photo ops on the festival step and repeat.

We will be giving out awards for both 2020 and 2021 on the night and screening select highlights from both year's entries. Having lost our primary venue at such very late notice means we won't be able to screen 'official selections' this year. But we hope you understand and will join us in celebrating our live return at our special party. We're just very thankful we've found a new home at such late notice.

And as a "Thank You" to all our winning 'official selections' for both years, entry will be free (RSVP required - as space is limited). We will reach out to everyone as we get closer to the date.

We're excited to be at our new venue and home, and the event promises to be a night to remember. We look forward to seeing all our old friends and making new friends too.

We continue to monitor the Covid-19 situation from a global perspective. Our priority is to create a safe environment for all attendees, following the health and safety protocols set forth by the state of California.

Be safe and well.
