The screening night also offers the UK premiere of French thriller Livid by Julie Maury and Alexandre Bustillo starring Beatrice Dalle as a caregiver who arrives in a house where she encounters the supernatural.

Another French director, Julien Magnat offers the UK premiere of his US project Faces In The Crowd, a giallo-style thriller starring Milla Jovovich.

Also on offer as UK premires are Cold Sweat from Argentina’s Adrian Garcia Bogliano, and Matt L Locklhart’s The Watermen starring Jason Mewes. Jen Moss’ short The Morning After, starring Kate Nash, will also be included in the programme.

The programme will also be repeated at Bristol’s Watershed on Nov 4.
