When Fantastic Film Festival Australia returns for its seventh outing of far-out movies from 23 April to 15 May, opening with Adam Scott-led spooker Hokum and closing with Mia’Kate Russell’s homegrown slasher Penny Lane is Dead, something big is afoot.
Teaming up with distributor Umbrella Entertainment, the festival has launched the inaugural Fantastic Film Prize, with a $10,000 cash prize for one of four competing Australian films willing to bend the boundaries of cinema to breaking point and beyond.
