Those of you who attended the Saturday evening filmshow I put together for Novacon 36 will undoubtedly recall Karl Holt's hilarious horror-comedy Eddie Loves You. What I hadn't realised until tonight was that Karl had filmed the audience* when it was screened at the 17th Festival of Fantastic Films, to put together this trailer.

*[Eagle-eyed viewers will spot Hilary & Mike Simpson, Ann, myself and Ray Holloway. And no, I wasn't rubbing my eyes in disbelief: I was simply knackered from watching all the stuff we had to leave out of the Delta Award shortlist.]

Less than three weeks until the 17th Festival of Fantastic Films in Manchester, and I've got the shortlist for this year's Delta Film Award down to a near-manageable sixteen films. Probably the worst aspect has been rejecting really interesting material purely because it isn't truly genre, including one entry from a previous winner, but rules is rules. Whatever, it's going to be a bloody close decision.

The finalists are: Anamnesis (UK); The Call of Cthulhu (USA*); Confederate Zombie Massacre! (USA); Doodled (UK); Dragon (USA); Eddie Loves You (UK*); The Grab (UK); Guy's Guide to Zombies (UK); The Harmion Tale (UK); La Vida Es Un Sueno (Spain); Return of Pink Five, Vol.1 (USA*); Solipsism (UK); The Spell (Spain); Two Old Bachelors (UK); Vampire (UK); We Three (UK).

*[I'll also be personally screening these three as part of Novacon 36's film programme.]
