They said: ‘Since being made aware of the connection between the people in Sods Law and the case of animal cruelty, the festival organisers have decided to cancel the film festival; and while it is regrettable that the festival will no longer run, Apollo Cinemas Torbay supports their decision not to be associated with promoting the work of anyone who has been convicted of such a crime.

“Apollo Cinema Torbay does however remain committed to supporting young and independent filmmakers and feels passionately about showcasing this talent to the local community. We therefore look forward to welcoming the film festival and other independent events to our screens in the future.’
