80 Screams International Film Festival (3)

Festival start: 03 December 2021      Festival end: 05 December 2021

In 2018 to coincide with Around The World in 80 Screams, which was a Horror Roku event on TPG Channels, TPG Studios and Four Leaf Clover Multimedia Productions created a virtual Horror Film Festival along with physical screenings called 80 Screams International Film Festival. The film festival renewed for a second year, 80 Screams International Film Festival 2 The Sequel in 2019. Due to the 2020 Covid 19 pandemic, the festival chose not to continue until 2021. We are proud to announce 80 Screams International Film Festival III The Resurrection for 2021.

In the past the festival was able to support both physical screenings and streaming. For 2021 we're going to focus just on the streaming to try and reach as many as possible and we'll pursue a physical venue for 2022. To help in these hard times we're also reducing the submission fees and the first deadline period will be free submissions for ALL categories. During the 3 day streaming period, viewers will be able to vote on their favorite films in their respective categories. A Judges panel will determine the rest of the awards, and the winners will be announced online on the website, social media and via email on Halloween 2021 after all the votes are tallied. After the announcement of the winners the laurels and awards will be sent out to the winners.
