About the festival

Launched in July 2011, Shock & Gore is a UK festival that looks to bring together all those people – whether audience members or film-makers – who have a love of horror, science fiction and fantastic films at the oldest working cinema in the UK.

While screenings make up the brunt of the festival, we also programme a number of different events, as we believe a festival should be more than just a collection of screenings. To that end, we’ve had stand-up comedy, Q&As, live choirs and all-night events.

Shock & Gore is a meeting place for UK film-makers and fans of genre cinema, a place where everyone can mingle and celebrate their love of cinema.

We have a commitment to celebrating not only the work of established genre filmmakers, but also those looking to get their first break and some national exposure. As such, the focal point of the festival is the official Shock & Gore competition, where entries from across the globe will be viewed and awards will be given for Best Feature Film and Best Short Film.
