THE DARK ARTS

The Dark Arts Fest's first feature selection, The Aftermath celebrates everything we love about Independent  filmmaking:  Post-apocalyptic cannibals, explosions, spaceships, & Steve "Motherfucking" Barkett!

​

“A spaceship returns from deep space to find the Earth in "The Aftermath" of a nuclear and biological war. The streets are filled with mutated survivors feeding off the weak and a Manson-like figure called Cutter, Sid Haig, "The Devil's Rejects" (2005), "House of 1000 Corpses" (2003), "Jackie Brown" (1997) is reigning terror down on all others.. but all that changes when Cutter confronts astronaut Newman (Steve Barkett, "Empire of the Dark," "Dinosaur Island," "Dark Universe"). What follows is a cat and mouse game of violent and spectacular proportions with no less than Earth's survival in the balance.”

Following the feature there will be a Steve Barkett Retrospective at the 4th Wall Lounge including a video interview with the director for the festival.
