This year saw the Blood in the Snow Film Festival expand from four to six days, which the introduction of the Deadly Exposure Industry Film Market. This resulted in BITS 2018 being my most busy festival, as see by the fact that it took me a number of days after the completion of the festival to finish up my coverage. However, my cover of BITS 2018 is now done and I can finally rest.
Here are my favourite films of the festival, along with the official award winners.
