We’re marking the 40th anniversary of David Cronenberg’s masterclass in body horror with a special screening, presented in partnership with our friends at Noods Radio and in collaboration with local legends DIY Cinema.
30-Second Horror Shorts Open Call
We’re inviting you to make your own 30-second (or under) nightmare! Think grotesque transformations, practical effects, blood, gore and stomach-churning body horror – inspired by cult classics such as The Thing, Videodrome, Re-Animator, The Evil Dead and, of course, The Fly.
The selected films will be shown immediately before the main feature, giving filmmakers the opportunity to have their work presented to a live audience on the big screen.
The challenge is simple: fright, disgust or completely unsettle us in just 30 seconds. Find out more and submit your film on Noods Radio's website.

There will be free Caribbean patties for the first 50 people through the door, so get down early!
