Romford Horror Film Festival (1)

Début du Festival: 20 février 2021      Fin du Festival: 22 février 2021

Romford Film Festival has spawned a horrific child, after 5 years of running a successful festival we have launched The Romford Horror Film Festival. Romford Film Festival has had a series of exclusive film screenings and now its time to go it alone under a new brand.

The festival will run on Saturday 20th and Sunday 21st of February, at Romford's Premiere Cinema. Films will be shown in a screen of 280 seats starting early in the morning until late at night. As well as horror films we'll be accepting other genre areas such as sci-fi, fantasy and thrillers.

Romford is in London's third largest retail area and has a plethora of shops and restaurants close at hand, as well as a variety of hotels.

Under the Romford Film Festival we have previously secured the UK premieres of over 100 horror movies and over 30 world premieres in the same genre.

Filmmakers in attendance will experience their film on a large screen in a purpose build multiplex, at the end of the screenings there will be a Q&A session with the audience followed by an interview with either Spencer, Bradley or Peter, all interviews will be filmed and unleashed onto our social media channels. Our team KNOW horror and you'll appreciate the output we provide to your films. There will be red carpet interviews with our audience and reviews on a number of websites.

Romford Film Festival and Romford Horror Film Festival are festivals ran by filmmakers, so we understand all the things you've been through, we'll screen your accepted film and part as lifelong friends, we'll support you long after the festival finish. Which is probably why in our festival history over 120 filmmakers have returned with their projects.

Plus 5 comical awards based on similar themes such as "Best Kill" or "Best Vacuum Cleaner Death"the comical awards will change yearly.
