Would you get up from your bed past midnight if you hear an unusual sound — a woman wailing in the distance or the noise from your TV set that you recall having switched off? If your answer is yes, here’s a plan for horror nuts like you. Wench Film Festival, a horror and sci-fi film festival, is back with its fourth edition.

With 30 films to be screened over the four-day festival at Andheri’s Veda Factory, the schedule includes immersive workshops, panel discussions, interaction with directors and filmmakers post screenings, and an opportunity to witness 15 enthusiasts make promising movie pitches to producers. “This is our second-ever offline event,” reveals founder Sapna Bhavnani, adding that when she started the film festival in 2020, it was aimed at making the festival women-centric.
