Russian vampire movies to Iranian cinema, Australian horror 'zines to a 
deconstuction of The Lion King, as well as a very special session run by 
Pozibles on crowdfunding. Attendees saw movies, went to the beach, vowed to

student, academic, independent researcher, fan or filmmaker, we are interested 
in hearing from you. Abstracts (no more than 200 words) and proposals for

The conference will run on Thursday 10 and Friday 11 July 2014 as part of the 
Revelation Perth International Film, which runs 3-13 July 2014.___
