FILM...
From the 1922 classic Nosferatu to Christopher Lee's Hammer creation and into the Twilight collection, vampires have been the enduring genre in cinema with 170 versions of Dracula alone. Television joined the party later on but the ratings of Buffy, True Blood, Vampire Diaries, The Strain, The Passage and a Discovery of Witches, along with internet based series such as Carmilla, proves that we all love being scared by, or attracted to vampires.
Each year IVFAF invites short and feature films to be submitted for screening. From the shortlist of nominated films, a Golden Stake Award is given to the Best Feature Film and Best Short Film with Silver Stake Awards given as runner up prizes in each category.
Submissions for 2021 open on 1 January
