In a little over 4 months from now, this year’s British Urban Film Festival line-up will be decided. Another year consuming, digesting and deliberating on hours of output, private screenings and submissions will come to a head and the UK’s buffest films (otherwise known as the sweet 16) will be offered to the public for due consideration at BUFF 2012, the 7th such occasion, with each festival seemingly surpassing itself in profile and prestige year on year. And so it goes without saying th...

At least it is in Los Angeles. A city that seems to always be in some transition of summer. But you can feel it. The air is cool, the breeze is warm and the sun is actually your friend rather than an annoyance.
This also marks a turning point for the Los Angeles Fear and Fantasy Film Festival. The Regular submission deadline is winding down and late submissions will begin in two weeks. It also marks the time when we start to gear up for our MAY 15 opening of this years festival.

contraption which softl...

to Die, recounts a relationship that is far from perfect yet eternally
addictive, made even more dramatic by the haunting and emoti...
