The Bram Stoker International Film Festival 2010 - News

THE BRAM STOKER INTERNATIONAL FILM FESTIVAL which runs from the 14th to the 17th of October this year, is promising to bring us only the very best that horror has to offer. I attended many great festivals last year, but The Bram Stoker Festival was my favourite. Not only was there a great ass-numbing, eye-rubbing, nightmare inducing mix of films, but I also enjoyed their launch night, special guests, and all round kick-ass atmosphere. Festival Director Mike McCarthy tells me he is gearing up for an even bigger and better festival this time round, and that thought is enough to have me and any other true horror fan adding the dates to their diary, dusting off their favourite cloak and preparing themselves for four days of horror heaven.

With quite a wait ahead of us, there’s a lot still to be arranged, but for now I can tell you that the fangtastic horror Icon, Countess Dracula herself; Ingrid Pitt will be attending as their special guest. Also on their VIP list is Doghouse star Emily Booth.

They are now accepting submissions for this year’s festival and if you wish to submit a short, The Bram Stoker International Film Festival in association with First Glance Film Festival (USA) have partnered to offer a unique opportunity for filmmakers and producers. Every short entered at the festival will be judged by a select panel. The winning short will be guaranteed a Premiere showing in HOLLYWOOD at the First Glance Film Festival the following April. This is a fantastic opportunity to showcase your work in the movie capital of the World. Your film must be a U.K. premiere to qualify.

I will be keeping a close eye on this festival and posting updates as soon as I hear them, so be sure to keep checking back......
