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.

Tickets go on sale Oct 1. A midnight film will be announced later.

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