Filtered by the film's length and ordered by deadline; every row carries the date we checked it and where. The film is public here, so the ones that want a premiere are marked. The festival plan says how to run the year.

The scorecard

A black-and-white woodland horror piece titled Phantom, built on candlelight, trees and shadow, with no synopsis or dialogue to confirm where it goes.

2.7of 5
  • Storynot read

    Not read: no synopsis or transcript, so what anyone wants or how it turns was not seen.

  • Pictureworks

    Monochrome woods, a candle flare, a figure on a path and a close hand-reach all show deliberate framing and consistent contrast across the four frames.

  • Wordsnot read

    Not read: no transcript, so any dialogue or narration was not seen.

  • Worldworks

    Dark coat, pale collar and overgrown woodland read as a coherent period-horror setting across the frames, even without sound or context.

  • Voicegetting there

    The title card and candle are a familiar horror opener; the fourth frame's reaching hand hints at a choice of its own but nothing more is visible.

I read four black-and-white frames and the title card; there was no synopsis and no caption transcript, so story and words could not be assessed. Read 2 November 2026. How the scorecard works
