The Starburst International Film Festival 2016
The Starburst International Film Festival is a celebration of genre and of Starburst Magazine itself.
Taking place in Manchester over the bank holiday weekend - Friday 26th – Sunday 28th of August 2016 at the MMU Student Union Building
Our remit is to celebrate everything STARBURST MAGAZINE has done since 1977: sci-fi, fantasy, horror, cult. From the biggest blockbuster to the most niche indies, via the very best of the small screen.
Cult classics, retro revivals, new releases, filmmaking and industry-specific events will all be in full flow, together with activities specially tailored for families during the Saturday daytime session, plus signings and photo ops, Q+As with industry legends, evening entertainment and crazy cosplay fun.
A beautifully curated film festival by day and a riotous party by night, we want this to become the ultimate summer celebration for film fans.
A shared cultural experience, and a mecca where fans of cult entertainment can get together and have a blast.
Starting with the launch party on Friday, culminating in the official STARBURST AWARDS adjudicated over by a panel of Industry Professionals, Directors, and Writers, to be held on Sunday evening, and then ending with the final blowout we can all share together that is the WRAP PARTY.
We hope you enjoy the show and look forward to seeing you there!
