We present to you Cambodia’s first genre specific film festival: Cambodia Horrific Film Festival. Horror movies. Horror game activations. A cross between halloween and your average dose of netflix and chill. Specialising in horror, our entire team has fully dedicated themselves to bringing you an experiential film festival. For this first edition of the Festival, we are vivifying the horror genre by providing interactive experiences and the best selection of horror movies, both local and international.
Fully aware of the wide scope of what qualifies as a “horror movie”, our screenings will range from: supernatural horror, thriller horror, psychological horror, horror mystery, gore horror. We also present to you a series of workshops for aspiring filmmakers, a Haunted House run by Escape Room, a virtual reality booth, a Haunted Tour, Haunted Hotel, and a showcase for the winners of our competitions.
What? Competitions?
Yes. You will have the chance to compete in one of four competitions. Starting from September, you may compete in our Film Making Competition, Horror-themed Food Competition, Small Business Decorating Competition, or a Costume Competition. The Festival is run by the major film distributor in the country, Westec Media Limited Plus (WML +), and and impactful marketing consultancy agency, The Idea.
Screenings will be run in modern cinema chains on secure DCP projectors, and in the presence of various officials, fellow filmmakers, as well as financiers.
