For 23 years, and running, the Festival of Fantastic Films has been bringing the best collection of movies and guests to Manchester

About the Festival

Breaking News

Ray Harryhausen (June 29, 1920 – May 7, 2013)

We regret to announce the death of Ray Harryhausen. Ray was a friend to the festival, appearing in the first Festival in 1990, and returning in 2001.

He was a charming man who showed a passion for his work, influencing generations but came over as a humble fan.

We will miss him, but his work will live on and he will continue to inspire.

Announcement

Following the recent announcement, that available hotel rooms may be reduced by attendees at the Conservative Party Conference the weekend following the festival, we polled fans with a number of options.
The decision was overwhelmingly to retain the current dates for the current dates for the Festival, 20th to 22nd September 2013.
We recommend that anyone wishing to stay at Days Hotel for the Festival should book as soon as possible. You do not have to pay in advance and you can cancel anytime up to two weeks prior to the Festival.
