Village of the Damned is now finished for another year. It's been a great festival with a fantastic selection of films and artwork that all the visitors enjoyed. We're already mulling over plans for next years fest but before we move on completely there's the little matter of announcing the 2011 winners of our VOTD awards. <br />
<br />
The first is the Best Film award as judged by us, the festival organisers, based on what film most met the VOTD objectives. This year the award goes to....<br />
Envy the Dead. This Arab zombie film was a UK premiere filled with interesting shots, clever ideas and an incredibly atmospheric soundtrack. <br />
<br />
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-v4N4xYPrv4U/TrRlLKrjiCI/AAAAAAAAA_Y/Zm-qMztuxVg/s1600/hellview.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="111" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-v4N4xYPrv4U/TrRlLKrjiCI/AAAAAAAAA_Y/Zm-qMztuxVg/s200/hellview.jpg" width="200" /></a>The second award is the Audience Award, which (surprise, surprise) is chosen by the audience. After each screening visitors had the chance to pick their favourite film and after the festival was finished we tallied up the votes to find out which film appealed to our audience the most. The film that came out on top was.... Escape From Hellview. This dark animation both terrified and delighted the festival goers with its style, reminiscent of 'The Snowman', which depicted some very disturbing and scary scenes.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01896036200930954567noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4740324721438960746.post-59993796936301133172011-10-26T22:46:00.000+01:002011-10-26T22:46:40.428+01:00Village of the Damned 2011!<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-AmPqAnq4Ccw/Tqh7XBqyzxI/AAAAAAAAA_I/VYcObatBskY/s1600/votd.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-AmPqAnq4Ccw/Tqh7XBqyzxI/AAAAAAAAA_I/VYcObatBskY/s400/votd.jpg" width="282" /></a> All <a href="http://villageofthedamnedfilmfest.blogspot.com/p/films.html">films</a> and <a href="http://villageofthedamnedfilmfest.blogspot.com/p/artists.html">artists</a> have been announced for the 2011 Village of the Damned festival and with only 2 days to go until opening night we are super busy getting things ready.

Emails have been sent out to the artists who submitted work for the 2011 festival so get checking your inboxes. All artists who sent work have been contacted apart from one. Unfortunately, due to technology conspiring against us, an email from one of the first artists to submit has been lost! We loved the work that this person submitted, which included prints and sculptures, so if you sent us an email and haven't heard back please resend your details to submissions@votdfilmfest.org. </div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Also it turns out that we have a bit more space than we thought and are on the look out for a couple more artists to help fill our walls. If you create art or craft that has a horror theme please fill a submission form and some photos or a link to submissions@votdfilmfest.org with "VOTD Art" in the subject box.</span><br />

<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
We are now open for submissions for our 2011 festival. We are looking for a super selection of short horror films to show and some creepy art and craft to display and sell during the event. If either of these sound like your bag just head over to the <a href="http://villageofthedamnedfilmfest.blogspot.com/p/submissions.html">submissions</a> page for details. We can't wait to see what you have to show us. </div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
This year the festival will be happening over 4 days so even more people have the opportunity to see the films and enjoy the artwork. Make sure to mark Friday 28th - Monday 31st October in your diaries because tickets will be on sale very soon.</div>
