You can only visit the Fantasy Filmfest when you are 18 years old.

From Gabriele Mainetti's spectacular, fast-paced martial arts blast KUNG FU IN ROME to THE DAMNED and his ice-cold finale: you have four days ahead of you filled with the best that current indie genre cinema has to offer! Our illustrious, breathtaking journey takes us from the confined space of LOCKED with Bill Skarsgård, to multiple universes in the serial killer sci-fi REDUX REDUX. Up next, comes colorful alien slime in Joe Begos’ funny splatter JIMMY AND STIGGS, the alternatively quiet and devilishly loud tones from the ghost horror NOISE or the punk rock comedy THE GESUIDOUZ. While vicious conflicts in BRING THEM DOWN, starring Christopher Abbott and Barry Keoghan, and dramatic revelations in A GIRL WITH CLOSED EYES bring emotions to a boil, loyal snails (MEMOIR OF A SNAIL), a nasty mermaid (MERMAID) and monstrous predators (ORANG IKAN) tell us their wild stories, too. A change of perspective on the Cinderella fairy tale creates cult with disgusting body horror in THE UGLY STEPSISTER and finally, in Eli Craig's slasher CLOWN IN A CORNFIELD a new killer clown shreds his way through a small town. If you still do not have enough excitement and witnessed not enough suffering, then join us for our ruthless Nollywood feature THE WEEKEND with all its surprises!

Yun is missing! The search for her sister takes the Chinese woman Mei to Italy, to the Eternal City, to the casino "Città Proibita".

A serious mistake, as Mei has been trained in kung fu by every trick in the book all her life. Ruthlessly, she soon cuts her way through Rome's underworld - and meets Marcello, a kind-hearted pasta chef who is in debt to a mobster.
