Director JEFF BURR‘s death in late 2023 left an immeasurable void in horror cinema. Working with genre icons Vincent Price, Clu Gulager and Susan Tyrrell in 1987’s From a Whisper to a Scream entrusted Burr to studio heads – tumultuous relationships at times, but fruitful, nonetheless. Not one to shy away from the stigma associated with filming sequels to beloved franchises, the director’s entries into the Pumpkinhead, Puppet Master and Stepfather franchises achieved cult status with fans, but it’s his work on Leatherface: The Texas Chainsaw Massacre III that many remember most fondly. This June, Chattanooga Film Fest (CFF) kicks off its annual event with a free-for-all celebration of the filmmaker’s life and work, including a special screening of the rarely seen TCM III workprint.

Anchored by a trio of wild and wonderful World Premieres, the CFF's tendency to push things as far as it can is on full display in a jam-packed final wave of films and events for its upcoming 2024 edition.

In June, the Chattanooga Film Festival, a “scrappy-ass, punk rock, rag-tag island of misfit films and film fans,” will screen dozens of independent features and shorts for the 11th year running.
