The Dead And SudBuried Horrorthon began life way back in 2016 in darkest Suffolk in the small market town of Sudbury as a celebration of classic horror movies. Over just one day, seven such classics were thrown back on the big screen in the intimate venue of The Quay Theatre. Taking place in a town without an actual cinema to fulfil our dream to see these movies on a big screen, the first Horrorthon was planned around a birthday so just in case it failed to bring enough horror fans obsessed enough to sit and watch non-stop horror all day long, the event could be written off as a present to ourselves!
Fortunately, a small but perfectly formed crowd came, enjoyed and endured over 13 hours of wonderful motion pictures giving birth to our very own franchise! We believe that movies should be seen on a big screen with big sound and with a crowd to be truly enjoyed which is the real reason the Horrorthon keeps coming back every year!
We returned in 2017, 2018 and 2019 bombarding a growing crowd with more classic horror movies and adding giveaways, discounts from local businesses and more! Sadly due to Covid, our 2020 was postponed but we created a virtual event to bridge the gap to 2021 using the Eventive platform and a host of brand new movies and shorts over an entire weekend!
Returning to the real world after the pandemic, we brought in our biggest crowd yet for our fifth event to watch a weekend of 7 brand new features (2 UK premieres) including Wyvern Hill, It Came From Below, Alien On Stage, Sweetie You Won’t Believe It, Tales Of The Creeping Death, Werewolf Castle and Box with 4 live Director/Cast Q&A’s following the screening, 7 classic horror movies featuring The Lost Boys, The Changeling, The Howling, Pieces, Friday The 13th, Videodrome and [•REC] with video introductions from Joe Dante, Alex Winter and Sean S Cunningham plus 24 amazing shorts from all over the world.
The huge success of Horrorthon V led to an even bigger 3 day event for Horrorthon VI in 2022 featuring 8 classics including Deep Red, The Living Dead At The Manchester Morgue, Return Of The Living Dead, The Fog and The Beyond, 8 festival circuit movies including The Creeping, Night Shift, Powertool Cheerleaders versus The Boyband Of The Living Dead, Do Not Disturb, The Outwaters, Super Z, Anthropophagus II, Feed Me and 19 brand new shorts plus the addition of food trucks and merchandise!
The seventh Horrorthon, Taste The Blood Of Dead And SudBuried was the biggest event to date with a bigger crowd than ever before! The 3-day event featured classics like Train To Busan, The Haunting, Death Line and Motel Hell, brand new movies Eight Eyes, Beaten To Death, How To Kill Monsters, The Moor, The Black Mass, The Pocket Film Of Superstitions, Lore and Punch and 19 new horror shorts!
The Eighth edition expanded with an earlier start and more movies - 18 features including Protein, The Invisible Raptor, Straight On Till Morning, The Last Video Store, Bogieville, Cara, The Well, Scared Shitless and Members Club plus 18 shorts, more Q&A's, more food trucks - just more everything!
We return in October 2025 with our the ninth edition in our usual home, The Quay Theatre in Sudbury, Suffolk. Come and join us!

Season 4 – a quarterly, underground cinema series in Liverpool curated by People Versus TV (PVTV). We’re looking for short films that embrace the strange, the satirical, the surreal, and the subversive.
Whether you’re an outsider artist or a polished provocateur, we want your work — especially if it’s funny, furious, anarchic, unconventional, absurd, or just plain weird.
What We’re Looking For
We welcome submissions from filmmakers, video artists, and hybrid creators working in:
- Experimental cinema
- Surreal, absurdist, and dreamlike shorts
- Political and social satire (especially that punches up)
- DIY, lo-fi, or formally inventive filmmaking
- Narratives that challenge norms or twist expectations
We don’t care if your camera’s cheap — we care that your vision is bold.
Why Submit to Fringe Flicks?
Fringe Flicks champions short films that don’t fit the mainstream festival mould. We screen to real, engaged audiences in Liverpool’s underground arts scene, and we value imagination over polish. Our screenings are social, low-pressure, and focused on creative exchange.
On top of all that, our Audience Choice Award that now includes a free DCP for future work, thanks to The DCP Works. Whether you're a DIY filmmaker, emerging artist, or experimental veteran, this is a space for cinema that bites, glitches, provokes and delights.
Who Can Submit?
We welcome submissions from anyone, anywhere — regardless of background, training, or budget. We especially value voices that aren’t often heard in mainstream film spaces, but most of all we’re looking for imaginative stories told in distinctive ways. Tell the stories you want to tell, in the way only you can.

SOCIALMED VALÈNCIA is the first Mediterranean Social Film Festival, which pays special attention to cinema and artistic creation related to social issues geographically and culturally linked to the Mediterranean Sea. The festival is based in the city of Valencia and will host its main event once a year in spring, although the first edition in 2021 was held exceptionally in 19-27 November 2021. This call for entries applies to the competitive and informative sections of the festival.
As organisers and promoters of the festival, VSRIGHTS (the Valencian Agency for Human Rights) and the ACM Foundation invite MedCités / MedCities, the network that coordinates 63 city councils and unions of municipalities from across the Mediterranean region through sustainable development projects, strategic urban city plans and the development of urban services, to collaborate in the promotion of the festival and the reception of submissions from its members.

Mostra Cinepoesia 2025 is an action that promotes dialogue between cinema and poetry, with the screening of experimental short films, kinetic poetry or video poetry made by filmmakers, poets and multi- or transdisciplinary artists for a cinematographic event.
The event proposes the selection of approximately 20 authorial works for the screenings, unpublished or not, among them those selected from subscribers, guests and the Mostra collection.
We are looking for synergy between images, sounds and words in the works submitted. The presence of poetry is essential in the audiovisual works selected, whether narrated, spoken, sung or written.
This way of making cinepoetry is a powerful inspiration for us and opens doors for directors who work with materiality in contemporary poetics, using language experiments.
Our 2025 tribute goes to Lúcia Murat, an important Brazilian filmmaker. We highlight her experimental cine-poetic spirit, her ability to wander between documentary and fictional cinema, and her historical movement of resistance and memory of women's body-territory.
For the 2025 edition, Mostra Cinepoesia has confirmed the following dates:
21.06- Call for Proposals Opening
31.08- Call for Proposals closes
10.09- List of Selected Works.

This edition will be in a hybrid format, with the films screened online and in a live event. Its goal is to promote the interchange among black female directors of world cinema.

We present the Memoriale Feliciotto short film festival.
The competing works will be judged through this platform, and the awards ceremony and screening of the shorts will be held in Giardini Naxos, in Piazzetta dei Limoni, on Sunday, September 21, 2025.
The Festival was founded with the aim of highlighting new talent, promoting social cinema, and celebrating the connection with Sicily. The Festival is dedicated to the memory of Carmelo Feliciotto, a lover of cinema and culture.
From a young age, Carmelo Feliciotto demonstrated a particular sensitivity to social and political issues. An activist in the ranks of the Young Communists of Giardini Naxos, he distinguished himself for his commitment to promoting the values of justice and social equality, which characterized the 1970s. Music and arthouse cinema have been his great passions. Professionally, he has conceived and implemented important music and video projects about Sicily, with particular reference to cultural and popular traditions. In the late 1990s, Carmelo was appointed councilor for sport, tourism, and entertainment in Giardini Naxos, leaving an indelible mark on his dedication, competence, integrity, and great ability.

These qualities are fostered both in the curation of the film screenings and in parallel activities, most notably the Visões Lab, an audiovisual project development laboratory.
