SATURDAY 26TH AUGUST 6.00 PM
EUROPEAN PREMIERE
An eerie folk horror mini-feature and an atmospheric homage to the great tradition of British supernatural television from the 1970s. In rural 17th-century England, a group of men gather to carry a coffin on the long walk to the local graveyard for burial. Much ancient folklore and superstition surround the pathway to the church, and several of the party are afraid to walk it after dark. Squire Marlow, the grieving father of the dead man, promises to double their wages if they agree to make the mysterious journey full of unexpected revelations.
The screening will be followed by a panel discussion on the film and its relationship to the history of folk horror and British genre television, featuring TO FIRE YOU COME AT LAST's writer/director Sean Hogan and actor James Swanton, as well as writer/critics Kim Newman and John Llewellyn Probert.
