1974: La Posesión De Altair (Overlook Theater Selection)

In 1974, a couple vanished without a trace, according to Mexican authorities. A recently discovered 8mm film has been determined to be the home movies shot by the young newlyweds. This footage is the documentation of the horrifying possession of a young woman, her husband’s battle against the paranormal, and the unstoppable destruction of their lives. We have acquired the footage and now can present a transfer of this 8mm footage, the rich grain and abnormalities left intact. 1974: La posesión de Altair is an unforgiving document of the most terrifying event in Mexican history, and the scariest movie you’ll see at this year’s Another Hole In The Head.

The 16th Annual Another Hole in the Head Film Festival brings you 15 days of mind bending cinema from the San Francisco Bay Area and around the globe culling together a diverse collection of films of all varieties and budgetary considerations.
