Celluloid Screams: Sheffield Horror Film Festival is over for another year. It's been our most successful year yet, with a bunch of sold-out screenings and a great turnout overall.
Audience members voted on all of the new feature films (including our secret closing film, which was Snowtown) and the winner of the Celluloid Screams 2011 Audience Award for Best Feature Film is Keith Wright's HAROLD'S GOING STIFF.
A new element to this year's festival is the addition of the Celluloid Screams Short Film Jury, who deliberated over all selected short films completed in 2010/11. After viewing over three hours of short films in a single block, our intrepid jury members deliberated and awarded Sebastian Marka's INTERVIEW as the winner of the Celluloid Screams Jury Award for Best Short Film. Hugo Lilja's THE UNLIVING was awarded the Jury's special mention. Special thanks to Tony Earnshaw, Gareth Bailey, Rachael Clegg, Shelley O'Brien and Joan Parsons for making up our Jury for 2011...
Congratulations to Keith, Sebastian and Hugo on the awards...
It's always a huge pleasure and a privilege to programme the festival each year, and your reaction as an audience is always at the centre of our programming. As such, your feedback and comments are always welcome and encouraged. Your feedback on the films, the venue, the facilities and the festival as a whole are really important to us in developing Celluloid Screams for the future, so please do email us with your thoughts to info@celluloidscreams.co.uk
Our monthly screenings continue on 8th November with a very special screening of THE EVIL DEAD, and we are currently working on an event for December as our Christmas Special. Keep an eye on our Facebook Page or twitter @sheffhorrorfest to hear the latest info first...
Thanks again to everyone who came along and made Celluloid Screams 2011 so special...
