UK’s Mayhem Festival Announces First Films and Guest
Returning to Nottingham’s Broadway Cinema this October 15-18, things are kicking into gear for the Mayhem Film Festival with the announcement of the first two films in the lineup and news of the first guest appearance.
First up is Steve Oram’s directorial debut, Aaaaaaaah!. Produced by Andrew Starke and executive produced by Ben Wheatley, the film is “an insane and hilarious collision of Romeo and Juliet and The Planet of the Apes in suburbia.”
Director Oram will also be making the trip to Nottingham to present the film and take part in a post-screening Q&A session.
Closing the festival this year will be Jennifer’s Body director Karyn Kusama’s The Invitation.
Mayhem co-director Steven Sheil says: “We’re really pleased to be screening both Aaaaaaaah! and The Invitation – two great films which really reflect the diversity of our programme, ranging from surreal dark comedy to atmospheric, unsettling tension. We’re also really excited to be welcoming Steve Oram back to Mayhem, after Sightseers – his collaboration with Ben Wheatley and Alice Lowe – proved such a hit with our audience in 2012.”
As mentioned, Mayhem takes place at the Broadway Cinema, Broadway, Nottingham, from October 15-18. Early Bird passes are now available at the discounted price of £55. You can nab yours, and find out more information on the fest, at the Broadway Cinema website.
