Pastel Wasteland Horror Film Festival

Horror descends on the South Coast, heading to the iconic No 6 Cinema in Portsmouth. Following a brilliant event in 2019, Pastel Wasteland Film Festival is back, ready to celebrate horror, sci-fi and genre films in all of their glory. Are you ready for a terrifying, weird, bloody and eclectic day packed full of the best horror the world has to offer? Be part of the action by submitting now. Located in the Grade II listed Boathouse 6, built in 1846, the 275-seat auditorium boasts one of the biggest screens on the South Coast. At Pastel Wasteland we are all about supporting genre filmmakers and we're incredibly passionate - maybe even a little obsessed - with horror, science fiction and anything that makes our skin crawl. With custom made trophies and other prizes yet to be announced on offer, we are setting the bar high, and we want to see your work. Whilst we prefer newer work, we are very aware that the pandemic has blocked many filmmakers from creating, so we are flexible on the year your film was made. For the first time, we are also accepting horror scripts, from first drafts through to final projects. These will only be read by our three core judges and strictly won't be shared with anyone else without your express permission, so submit in the knowledge your work is safe with us.
