We hope the diversity of the content will help you forgive the lower-than-usual Zoom-call sound quality. Guest host Ian Winterton has been working hard interviewing a raft of filmmakers from the festival's slate, and here he joins regular host Dan to give an overview of the films on offer over the 7th-11th October. Ian's been kind enough to invite Dan aboard some of the interviews, so here we present conversations with the people behind three of the upcoming films.

Writer-director Brea Grant discusses her hospital-set, gruesome comedy thriller 12 Hour Shift, co-directors John C Lyons and Dorota Swies talk about their gritty, social realist fracking-themed horror Unearth, and director Cody Calahan and star Ari Millen discuss dark Canadian drama The Oak Room.
