Nottingham Mayhem Film Festival 2021

[Susan Foreman]

With the 17th edition fast approaching, Mayhem Film Festival is proud to announce the first two titles for the 2021 programme, and reveal the updated plans for this year's edition in light of ongoing Covid restrictions

The festival is set to return to the Nottingham Broadway Cinema between October 14 - 17

The first title announcement is for the underwater ghost story 'The Deep House'. Reminiscent of the legendary moment in Argento's 'Inferno', directors Alexandre Bustillo and Julien Maury, whose previous films include 'Inside', 'Leatherface', 'Among The Living' and a segment of 'The A-B-C's Of Death 2' plunge us into the depths of a submerged haunted house to create a literally immersive horror experience

The second film confirmed for this year's festival is the documentary 'Alien On Stage', which follows a group of DIY, Dorset-based bus drivers as they remake Ridley Scott's science fiction classic for the stage on a shoestring budget, and the to take it to the West End. This behind-the-scenes documentary catalogues the journey from early rehearsals to opening night and will leave you grinning from ear to ear and cheering the underdogs on to victory

In addition to those, the always-popular Short Film Showcase will also be returning

Seating for this year's festival will be allocated to allow for social distancing, and so specific seats will need to be selected when purchasing festival passes and the seat you choose when purchasing your pass will be your seat for the duration of the festival. Organisers will remain responsive to the ever-evolving pandemic situation, and will make any required adjustments to the plans if necessary. Guidance will be continually reviewed in the run-up to this year's festival, and all screenings and events will be delivered in line with advised Government Covid-19 measures in place at the time
