FILM FESTIVAL

That the art of filming is an essential component of our lives. Movies possess the power to alter our perspectives, influence our daily emotions, and ultimately transform the world. Our Festival is dedicated to showcasing the captivating realm of cinema, recognizing its indispensable role in our lives. Whether it's the dedicated independent filmmakers who sacrifice their personal possessions to fund their projects, the visionary studio executives entrusted with significant budgets, or the spontaneous film enthusiasts who stumble upon a theater, we aspire to make our festival a source of delight for all.

An incredibly talented filmmaker, who's not scared of the audience's reaction. As a fearless filmmaker, you embrace the notion that there is no greater challenge than experiencing a fall, and there is no greater triumph than rising once more. You possess an insatiable desire to craft audacious and remarkable narratives, unafraid to defy conventions and push boundaries.

We are ardent enthusiasts of unconventional, shocking, intense, and visually captivating cinema! Our passion lies in films that seamlessly combine elements of horror, comedy, fear, blood, drugs, and mind-bending psychedelic journeys. The perfect blend of these genres, coupled with a touch of intriguing Sci-Fi, truly captures our attention. We revel in movies that skillfully maintain a gripping atmosphere, keeping the tension high throughout. We have one annual screening happening in London in June 2024.
