We are absolutely delighted to announce that the schedule for this year’s Black Sunday Film Festival is now live!
Tickets are now on sale, and in order to make the festival as flexible and affordable as possible, we’ve priced each individual screening at just £10 (plus a small booking fee) — and you’re welcome to attend as many or as few as you’d like!
The majority of the screenings will also be showing a selection of short films before the feature presentation starts. You’ll see the full details of what’s showing in the listings below.
We will also be hosting a post-festival party on the Friday, Saturday and Sunday nights at the brilliant Voodoo Keller bar, which is just a short walk from the Everyman cinema. Everyone who has attended any film across the weekend is welcome to join us!
The Independent Horror Society are also hosting a special mixer event for fans and filmmakers on Thursday 25th — free tickets are available here
