You can only visit the Fantasy Filmfest when you are 18 years old.
Creepy, funny, disturbing and crazy, wacky, breathless and stylish – the new edition of Fantasy Filmfest White Nights offers a program with a wide range of themes and moods. Real madness (THE SURFER aka Nicolas Cage in the title role) meets supernatural sensations (DEAD TALENTS SOCIETY from the Toronto Film Festival's Midnight Madness and San Sebastian award winner THE WAILING). Steven Soderbergh's ghost film PRESENCE will for sure also have a long-lasting effect, and we can with confidence say that COMPANION starring Sophie Thatcher and Jack Quaid will immediately get cult status.
It’s no secret that we fall for French-language thrillers. NIGHT CALL and MADS are two of our highlights. But the program is also pleasingly international with ten films from a total of ten production countries, including disgusting splatter from South Africa (the “Melting” classic STREET TRASH in a new edition). In addition to new- comer talents, there will also be reunions with festival-proven filmmakers – from Lorcan Finnegan to David Moreau, Ryan Kruger and Viljar Bøe. What, all in a single weekend? Of course! Because, as always, we bring the good films and you bring the good vibes. 2025 will for sure be a great year! We've already made a start…
