It takes place from May 18 to 19, organised by Bridgwater Arts Centre and Somerset Film.

Four venues will host the festival including the Engine Room, the BAC, Scott's Cinema, and the Masonic Hall.

Funded by Animating the Town Fund and BFI Film Hub South West, Mayhem boasts 10 films of various genres, promising "something for everyone".
