Britain's What's On Event Guide
Exit 6 presents: Spooky 6
A curated evening of films to send shivers down your spine celebrating the ‘Dark half’ of the season for our Spooky 6 short film showcase
This is a chance film fans to enjoy a series of innovative shorts with a sinister twist, ranging from the unsettling to the supernatural and the downright horrifying (often comically!)
The short film format thrives in the horror genre, as it is the perfect length to build tension, using moments of disturbance that explore primal fears. Don’t forget breakout box office smash Backrooms started life as a YouTube short!
Each year the Exit 6 Film Festival team receive so many amazing submissions that fall into this category and after the success of last year’s ‘Spooky 6’ night, there are so many more that the team wanted to share with you!
Accessibility: The venue is all based on the ground floor and so accessible for most wheelchairs. We have some limited disabled parking and an accessible toilet. If you have any specific access needs or would like more information, please call us or email so we can ensure your visit is as enjoyable as possible.
About Exit 6 Film Festival
Exit 6 Film Festival is a vibrant celebration of independent cinema set in the heart of Basingstoke. Every September, we curate an all-day diverse programme of short films from stunningly talented UK and international filmmakers, many of whom have gone on to stellar industry careers.
