The latest and likely one of the final stops on the festival run for The Other took place at the end of September with the BIFA qualifying Worcester Film Festival screening our short film as part of their 2025 Official Selection. Taking place between September 24th-27th, the festival showcases an enormous range of shorts and feature films, and offers plenty of industry Q&As and networking opportunities.
Now in its fifth year, the Worcester Film Festival goes from strength to strength and is to date the only BIFA qualifying film festival in the West Midlands. It’s not hard to see why. The organisation and friendliness of the team here has been second to none, from submission and selection all the way through to the main event on the big screen at the Odeon. The hard work that goes into make this such a filmmaker focused and professionally organised event is clear for all to see. We hope to return in future with another film or as an audience member.

Head to the Worcester Film Festival website to find out more about this year’s festival and check out the trailer below which features an appearance from Adam Horvath as Marcus in The Other!
The Other follows serious and meticulous young chef Marcus as he begins to experience increasingly strange and unexplained events that challenge his sanity. With his mindset spiralling into paranoia his desperation is intensified by sightings of a familiar figure. The film, produced by Belinda Basson, directed by Christopher Bevan and written by Ben Errington, has received several festival screenings and nominations over the past year, including two BIFA qualifying festivals, and was previously honoured at the Midlands Movies Awards 2025 with wins for Best Short Film, as judged by VIP guest judge Richard Armitage, and Best Actor in a Leading Role for Adam Horvath in the role of Marcus.
