“Tex: Vampire Hunter” will lead off the Mature Audiences short film program at BIFF. This is presumably due to the explicit violence and strongly implied vampire lesbianism in the movie, or the scene where Tex does like eight lines of cocaine.

The showtimes are as follows:

• Friday, February 19th – Wilson Theatre (tickets)
• Saturday, February 20th – Bushel & Pecks (tickets)
