With each year gaining more popularity this, the only film festival of its kind in the country (except for another affiliated Flamedrop event, the X FEST Film Festival), always makes a point of nurturing and cultivating the local movie industry, in particular young movie-makers with an urge to create daring, extreme, scary and off-centre cinematic art which won't find a platform anywhere - except at the South African Horrorfest of course!
The festival takes place 31 October 2008 at The Labia Theatre, Orange Street, Gardens, Cape Town. Submission details for local and foreign feature films and shorts can be found at www.horrorfest.info. Closing date is 1 October - email for deadline extension details.

The second chapter of Flamedrop's X FEST Film Festival will be an Extreme Music Edition, 26 - 28 September at The Labia Theatre, featuring a lineup of feature films, documentaries and captured live performances from a range of bands and artists pushing the boundaries of intense music over the edge.
