There will also be several international films playing at the festival including the premieres of Pou aka Peacock a South African film Which mixes repression and the troubled past of Africa and the Uncanny from the United States which has the director Clara Gabrielle and star Marie Laurin flying in from L.A.
Comedy horror is high on the agenda with Puppetkiller, The Iron Sheik Massacre, a film about a killer wrestling toy, Tatties features a series of rather unpleasant potatoes and veteran actress Linda Marlowe takes manners to a brand new level in A Hymn To Her.

There is also a high representation of films from Spain, Belgium, Taiwan, Korea, Germany, France and Ireland adding a real international feel to the event, with filmmakers flying in especially for the event.
