frightfest |
FrightFest, also known as Film4 FrightFest, is an annual film festival held in central London over the August Bank Holiday weekend. The first event was held in the year 2000.
As its name indicates the primary focus is on the horror genre. However it has included a wide variety of movies that blur the boundaries of genre definitions.
History
The festival was envisioned and run by film producer Paul McEvoy,[1] Ian Rattray a film distributor, Alan Jones[2] a journalist, and Greg Day[3] a film and Television PR. They are a visible force throughout the weekend and eager for feedback. Films are introduced on stage by a varying combination of the organisers. Question and Answer sessions are also compered by them.
For five years the festival was held at the Prince Charles Cinema (PCC). In 2005, it moved to the Odeon West End (OWE) due to increasing audiences. In 2009, it found a new home in Empire, Leicester Square. Various one-off events have been held at venues across the UK. The Fright Fest brand has been included in the Cambridge Film Festival and the Glasgow Film Festival.
The Festival has been host to many personal appearances by those involved with the making of the films being shown. Notable attendees include George A. Romero, Rob Zombie,[4] Paul W. S. Anderson, Park Chan-wook, Danny Boyle, Guillermo del Toro (twice), Brian Yuzna, Neil Marshall The League of Gentlemen, Uwe Boll, John Landis and Tobe Hooper.
FrightFest has had a number of different sponsors over the span of its life including Film4, Volkswagen Lupo, Bizarre magazine (of which the August issue was given away free), Xfm, Zone Horror and Play.com.
Poster and logo designs are provided by the artist Graham Humphreys.
FrightFest is an adherent member of the European Fantastic Film Festivals Federation.[5]
