"They spoil us with excellent film festivals round these parts, making this one of the most difficult categories. This year, we decided that the small, volunteer-run Compass of Lunacy deserved our banana. The Compass folk have been around for a few years now with their themed multimedia festivals. But what really swung it for them was their creative use of a brand new space. The suitably spooky Old Coroner's Court was filled with splendid installations, including a padded cell and electric chair."
