In this special programme curated to celebrate our 10th anniversary, we’ll be showcasing 10 of the very best horror films. This programme first screened at the LIAF in 2013 (and it sold out!) and we’re very proud to be collaborating with Short Film City Hull in association with Leeds Film, to bring it to the cinema-goers of Hull.
