Were we to turn a spotlight on film festivals across the world then stalwarts like Cannes, Toronto and San Sebastian would surely shine brightest. And that?s only natural.
Occupying a darker corner of the stage, however, are scores of cinematic celebrations that showcase the unorthodox, the weird and the creepy.
If it weren't for these quirky additions to the global festival calendar, our great storytellers might never have known, for example, the Kevin Norwood Bacon Achievement Award -- a gong awarded for exemplary achievement to a filmmaker or actor connected to Kevin Bacon in six films or fewer.
With that taster still lingering in the senses, here are some of the oddest and most wonderful celebrations of film, all (well, most) screening at a town near you over the next year or so. Book your tickets now.
1. Mile High Horror Film Festival (United States)Not sure which one's Dorothy, but The Emerald City definitely ain't in Denver.
