Horror is an important genre to celebrate and preserve. It confronts topics we instinctively shy away from, and forces us to look at our fears head-on. Syracuse has always been a city that welcomes this genre, most recently being the set for horror movies The Shed (2019), The Night House (2020), Brainhunter: New Breed 1987 (2023), and Bloodfly (2024).

The Syracuse International Film Festival recognizes that our mission to engage, entertain, inform and inspire the Central New York community through film and media programs is inseparable from our commitment to cultivate spaces that champion diversity, equity, and intersectional belonging. We believe that promoting intersectional representation and curating content that highlights a vibrant array of identities, cultures, and lived experiences is mission critical. We furthermore recognize that it is imperative to use our platform to increase accessibility within film, uplift historically excluded voices, and spread awareness of social issues that actively impact our local and international landscapes.
