“Night Feeds,” a psychological horror short from Rana Roy starring May Calamawy (“Moon Knight”), will open the first edition of the Yami International Film Festival, Tokyo’s new showcase for horror and darker genre fare.

“Breeder,” from Alex Goyette, will close the festival, which runs Nov. 20–26 at Human Trust Cinema Shibuya.

The event is run by Yami Inc., a Japanese company known for horror exhibitions and other genre-themed attractions. Its goal is to introduce Japanese audiences to new horror filmmakers from home and abroad. An open call ran from late May to the end of August and brought in 182 entries from 40 countries and territories. Six features were picked for the feature competition and eight shorts for the short competition.
