Calling all filmmakers with grit, guts, and an appreciation for the shaddowy corners of life: welcome to RATFEST, the film festival where the filth, fury, and raw survival instincts of the world’s most misunderstood creatures take center stage. This isn’t for the faint of heart or the squeamish. At RATFEST, every film must embrace the rat—whether they’re the heroes, villains, or harbingers of chaos. Rats are scavengers, survivors, and symbols of humanity’s most primal fears and desires. They thrive in the dark alleys, forgotten tunnels, and underbelly of society. Your job? To tell their stories—or let their spirit drive yours. No excuses. No fees. No boundaries. We don’t care if you’re an industry pro or a rogue storyteller with nothing but a camera and a dream. Bring us your grit, your grime, your uncompromising vision. Whether it’s a 30-second glimpse into the void or a two-hour odyssey through rat-infested nightmares, we want to see it.
Rats are survivors in a world that wants them dead. They outwit traps, thrive in squalor, and watch humanity’s rise and fall from the shadows. They’re relentless, resourceful, and impossible to ignore. RATFEST is here to celebrate the raw, unvarnished truth of their existence—and ours.
