Dates for the 30th Anniversary H. P. Lovecraft Film Festival IN 2025 have been moved to September 19-21st!  This is an in-person event taking place at the Hollywood Theatre, and some panels and literary events planned at the Sonder Bar (just a block from the theater).

Panels should relate to topics of Cosmic Horror, Weird Tales, Lovecraft & his contemporaries, in any media. Panels with targeted focus and a fun or interesting hook tend to be better attended than ones with broad or general topic.

Last held at the Providence Public Library, the H. P. Lovecraft Film Festival® will take place August 17-19th 2018, at its new digs, smack dab in Lovecraft country, up on College Hill at the beautiful RISD Metcalf Auditorium. With fantastic projection, excellent sound, and a lovely dark auditorium, the Metcalf ups our film festival game, ensuring that you'll be immersed in the cosmic horror of our independent film selection.

Poet, performing artist, critic, and literary historian, Donald Sidney-Fryer is the last in the great line of California Romantics that reaches from Ambrose Bierce to George Sterling, from Sterling to his protégé Clark Ashton Smith, and from Smith to his disciple Sidney-Fryer.
