After an interrupted year where Paracinema went online, we are back in person. We have an eclectic range of titles that incorporate a mix of horror, sci-fi and fantasy alongside documentaries on Cannibal Holocaust and Emmanuelle, rare 80s Giallo, a mini wave of excellent Argentinian cinema and Darrell Buxton's legendary Paracinema Film Quiz. We delighted to welcome special guests Stephen Volk (Gothic, Ghostwatch), Sean Hogan (The Devil's Business, England's Screaming), Jake West (Doghouse, Evil Aliens) and Marc Morris (Video Nasties: Moral Panic, Censorship and Videotapes) from Nucleus Films.

The Paracinema Film Festival has been made possible with support from Film Hub Midlands through funds from the National Lottery. Film Hub Midlands support people to watch, show, and make films in the Midlands.
