Fredrik S Hana https://www.instagram.com/fredrikshana As one of the most unnerving short films of the 2022 genre circuit, I got to see FROM.BEYOND on the big screen at SITGES International Film Festival. While experiencing it in a theater with its chilling score (Anders S. Hana) and rather disgusting sound effects made it feel that much more otherworldly and larger than life, it surprisingly plays just as eerie on the small screen. In many ways, FROM.BEYOND gives the impression that it shouldn’t even be watched, as if it was something the audience has stumbled upon and wasn’t meant to see. And yet, we consume it with a morbid fascination for the grotesque. - S/W Curator, Chelsea Lupkin FULL REVIEW: https://www.shortoftheweek.com/2023/10/31/from-beyond/ *CREW* Director: Fredrik S.
