Germany's Roland Petrizza and Alex Eslam caused a stir at Fantastic Fest 2011 with their Infernal Nuns, a wildly over the top trailer for a non-existent movie that the duo created as a film school project. As the trailer itself proudly declares it's got Black Nuns! Asian Nuns! Fat Nuns! Plus full bosoms, a lusty pope, explosions, and full on Nun vs Vatican warfare!When Pope Innocentius VIII is doomed to die, Marie Claire, an innocent nun, is ready to sacrifice everything.

The complete list of short films screening at Fantastic Fest has been announced. Unfortunatly as with most short films, there isn’t too much known about many of these.

Anybody can tell a good tale, spin a quality yarn so to speak, if given an hour and a half. But to accomplish that same feat in 15 minutes or so, now that's doing something. And Fantastic Fest has announced the lineup of 50 films doing just that for this year's program.
