Cornwall Film Festival

‘In a time of new European nationalism, of razor-wire fences and renewed border controls, of mass immigration and homegrown terror, of fear and insecurity where the proponents of closed national societies seem to be gaining ground against those favouring liberal, open regimes, the concept of boundaries seems more pertinent now than ever,’ says the Cornwall Film Festival about its 15th edition, which takes place at the start of November.

Sneak screening of What We Do In The Shadows before UK release at Cornwall Film Fest Halloween special

Step into the darkside, and we don’t just mean into that world of omnipresent reality TV. We’re talking about that world of omnipresent screen vampires. What We Do In The Shadows is a mockumentary about a group of vampires, living, loving and laughing together in a shared flat. At last, stepping behind the dour facade of their evil life to see the real them. And you can watch it nearly a month before the scheduled UK release at a special Halloween screening from the Cornwall Film Festival.
