So, you normally don't hear about what women are directing in horror, sci-fi, and fantasy? That's because other assholes don't write about it. Only this asshole does. And there's a lot of new films projects you'll want to check out, if you're a real fannerd.
Aside from German-language release Lollipop Monster by Franziska Riemann and Larysa Kondracki's thriller in mainstream theaters, The Whistleblower, there's a bunch of shit to check out this summer.
Also in theaters is director/writer Miranda July's fantasy film The Future (see our review) opening on August 5th, 2011. This is July's second feature as director, the first being Me and You and Everyone We Know, which everyone who loves arty movies said was amazing. There's a talking cat and romance and a goregous beauty to The Future. Watch the stunning trailer:

We're co-running the Viscera Film Festival, showing the best new short horror films directed by women, just like we did last year. Here's our 2011 lineup.
It's been pretty cut-throat. Out of over 80 submissions, we struggled and wept and co-director Shannon Lark and I beat each other up over what our final lineup would be. In the end, we decided, only the best of the best could play, so we counted and recounted our judges tallies and agreed that again we'd show way too many films and have our fest run way too long.
These films are just too good to not screen. We couldn't eliminate any of them. I have to be honest: I love every film on this list. We're got some Us premieres that we're especially excited about! The 2011 Viscera Film Festival Films are:
The Party’S Over by Gigi Romero
Bon Apetit by Kate Shenton

The theme of BleedFest's March 6th event is FantAsian: Fantasy and musicals by female Asian filmmakers, and they're showing Anna Biller's short films Three Examples of Myself as a Queen, which involve really strong fantasy elements.
Biller is best known for her awesome spoof of the sexual revoultion called Viva, but Three Examples of Myself as a Queen showcases her strongest attribute- her art direction skills, which are beyond compare. Watching an Anna Biller film is like falling into another world. A Visit from the Incubus and Fairy Ballet are by far some of the most engrossing shorts of the past decade of independent women's films. This chance to see Biller, in person, with her works, is a must for any fan of the gorgeous or the fantastical in movies.

"The Boarder" is a film from Florida State University student Susan Bell and this short film of nine minutes will be at the January 2nd Bleedfest Film Festival. In this short, a mature man, dressed entirely in black, takes up residence in a large boarding house. Here, a single mom pays the bills by rooming mysterious strangers, for temporary periods of time. But this is not your usual tenant.
This black robed man takes souls of the innocent to put into an ever growing collection. That is, until a young boy discovers his plot and moves to intervene. Moms are saved, souls are released and viewers will never really know if the story is one of a child's imagination, or one of a fictional reality. This is the short to see at this upcoming film event!
