Billed as “the first horror festival of France,” this year’s “Bloody Week-end” event is headed to Bourgogne Franche-Comté on May 20, 2023 for the 14th annual celebration.
Festival founder Loïc Bugnon tells us, “The Bloody Week-end Festival is a unique French cultural event, bringing together a Fantastic & Horror movies convention, and an international short movies competition. Professionals from cinema are part of the jury and deliver awards for fan fictions, independent movies and animated movies.
“The Bloody Week-end is a meeting place for Fantastic cinema fans, but also for different artists: painters, sculptors, photographers, writers, novels or comic books authors, makeup artists. You will also find many animations, live shows, conferences, cosplay and make-up contests, interactive games, and more throughout the three days of the festival.”
This year’s “Bloody Week-end” will be attended by filmmaker/musician Tom McLoughlin, who will be presenting screenings of his movies including One Dark Night and Stephen King’s Sometimes They Come Back. Tom will also be performing, with top French rock/metal musicians, a set of classic rock songs from horror movies. He calls the show HORROROX.
Also appearing at “Bloody Week-end” will be Laurence R. Harvey (Human Centipede 2 & 3), director Jörg Buttgereit (Nekromantik 1 & 2), Christina Lindberg (Thriller), french metal band drummer Manard (Ultra Vomit) and Model designer Simon Weisse (Event Horizon).
