“"Being able to experience the official festival premiere of JINX on the big screen, surrounded by so many wonderful people, was truly incredible! 4 incredible awards from five nominations – and to say we are overwhelmed, grateful and proud would be an understatement. It's a huge honour to receive the award, and I'm incredibly proud to have been part of JINX. To have JINX itself receive the award for BEST FEATURE FILM is a moment that I will never forget."

Arts University Bournemouth (AUB) alumnus Christopher Mulvin has achieved significant recognition at the British Horror Film Festival 2026, winning the award for Best Supporting Actor.
The festival, held at the Lumiere Cinema in Romford, saw the supernatural horror feature JINX, in which Mulvin stars, claim four awards from five nominations. The film secured the top honour of Best Feature Film.
Mulvin's performance in the thriller, which centres on a cursed dollhouse, a missing boy, and an ancient hex, earned him the Best Supporting Actor award. JINX also received accolades for Best Director, awarded to Richard Oakes, and the Rise Up Star award for Chloe Hews.
Kasia Zaremba-Byrne, Course Leader for BA (Hons) Acting at AUB, congratulated Mulvin on his success. "We are absolutely delighted to see Christopher recognised with this award. The entire BA (Hons) Acting team and AUB community are immensely proud of his ongoing success," she stated.
This award marks another significant achievement for the AUB graduate, who has been building an acting career in UK television and independent film, including appearances on the BBC's Doctors. Mulvin is currently filming his next major project, Last Resort, as JINX prepares for its international release.
