BLEEDINGHAM XIII: Best Feature Film and More!
DATE: October 26th, 2024
TIME: 6:10 pm
LOCATION: The Pickford Film Center @ 1318 Bay St
Each year, only one feature film with the highest judges’ score earns the coveted spot at the Pickford as Best Feature Film. The feature films screening in the festival circuit are films you generally won’t see anywhere else. The winning film will be announced 2 weeks before the festival, once the judging has commenced. Be prepared for anything when you purchase tickets to this block, as we do not censor filmmakers and these films are not rated. You could be in for horror comedy, tales of the supernatural, mental distortion, or just a good old fashioned horror slasher!
As is tradition, we will be giving away local prizes to a few lucky attendees at every film block! And don’t forget to get a snap at the Bleedingham photo booth before you go!
