Daddy's Head director Benjamin Barfoot confirmed as festival guest and programme amendment

The most wonderful time of the year is almost upon us and we have a couple of important announcements to share with you all.

We have had to make a change to our line-up and we will no longer be screening RKSS's Wake Up as our closing film. If you purchased an individual ticket for that film, we will be in touch shortly to inform you about the refund procedure. If you selected the film as part of a Frankenstein package, then you will be able to swap that ticket for a different film depending on availability. Again, our team will be in touch to guide you through the process.

We will be replacing the film with a different title and we will share that announcement with you very soon. We are very excited to announce that Daddy's Head director, Benjamin Barfoot, will join us on Friday 18 October for an introduction and post-screening Q&A. Benjamin was previously at Mayhem in 2017 with his film Double Date, and we can't wait to welcome him back to the festival to discuss the nightmarish Daddy's Head.

If you are yet to book your tickets or passes for the festival, there is still time to do so.

We can't wait to welcome you all to our 20th edition.
