Originally featured at the Toronto rep-cinema 'The Projection Booth', the program's current home is MAGIC LANTERN CARLTON CINEMA.

The poster this month features hand-drawn artwork from Darryl Shaw. The theme this month is obvious - Xmas and the holidays, with a big f**king twist!
------------------------------------------
Here's this month's outstanding lineup:
Murder on 34th Street (8 minutes, premiere)
DIR: Matthew Coleby
A man dressed as Santa is followed home by a dark figure in a familiar red suit.
Latchkey's Lament (17 minutes)
DIR: Troy Nixey
In this inventive tale, Mr. and Mrs. Key are snatched from their home by the insidious Keyfiend, and taken back to his monolithic factory. This short helped Nixey land the job of director the remake of 'Don't Be Afraid of the Dark'. Previous selection of Toronto After Dark, and many others.

Entity (14 minutes, France, premiere)
DIR: Andrew Desmond
In this visually-breathtaking short (honestly, it gives 'Interstellar' a run or it's money), an astronaut finds herself ejected into deep space, and has to fight to survive.

Treevenge (15 minutes)
DIR: Jason Eisener
A holiday cult-classic in the making, this is required Xmas viewing! The director of 'Hobo with a Shotgun' delivers his own holiday twist on a revenge tale. Nobody is safe! Award-winning previous selection of too many film festivals to count. Showing this has become an annual Little Terrors Xmas tradition!

Breaking Santa (10 minutes)
DIR: Astron 6
The demented minds at Astron 6 (The Editor, Father's Day, Manborg, Lazer Ghosts 2) have prepared their own holiday treat. An explanation would do it no justice. Guaranteed lunacy! Another LT-Xmas encore presentation.
Pockets (3 minutes)
DIR: Daniels (Daniel Scheinert, Dan Kwan)
From the director's of last month's favourite 'Interesting Ball', and the 'Turn Down For What?' video. No description necessary. Just…. watch.
