5th Cinefantasy Call for submission: March 29 to June 11
Features, Short films and Master of the Scream Contest
(No fee entry)
Brazil is not only the country of carnival and soccer. It’s a country with rich folklore, many dark legends, obscure rituals, UFO mysteries, beautiful fairy tales and, of course, Coffin Joe. That’s why Brazil needed a fantastic film festival like Cinefantasy.
Cinefantasy happens annually in the city of São Paulo, Brazil. It’s an international event dedicate to fantasy, sci-fi and horror movies that screens short films and features in competitive sessions, as well as tributes, retrospectives, thematic and especial screenings, premieres, conferences with guest filmmakers, lectures and workshops.
Last year the event has had astounding growth. There were almost 200 submissions, 80 short films selected for the competitive screening and 12 winners who won the awesome “Dry Corpse Trophy”. The festival exhibited more than 160 films in total at three screening places. The 4th Cinefantasy showcased features like the Italian horror film “Shadow”, the Thai movie “The Forbidden Door” that won the best movie in Puchon, and the French sci-fi movie “8th Wonderland”, 3 awards winner on Fantasia. The guests were the master of the Brazilian horror-comedy Ivan Cardoso and Marc Price, director of the zombie film that wows Cannes, “Colin”. There was also amusing thematic programs like the “Dark Little Tales” screening with gothic short films, the DayGore that was an entire day with gore and exploitation movies and a tribute to Fauzi Mansur, a Brazilian underground director.
With five editions, the Cinefantasy is already one of the most important fantastic film festival in Latin America, hosting a lot of fans and media.
Cinefantasy Festival is one of the founder members of FANTAFESTIVALES - Latin Fantastic Film Festivals Federation – and partner of Melies, from Europe.
This year Cinefantasy will be running it’s 5th edition that happens from August 31 to September 12.

The huge success of the 4th edition, Master of the Scream Contest comes back this year for more scary films. The Master of the Scream Contest awards the short film that manages to get the scariest reaction out of the audience. Surely it’s not a session for weak hearts!
We also are lookout for features and shorts to special showcases like Dark Little Tales (gothic short films) or fan films.
