Floripa Que Horror: International Fantasy Film Festival returns to Florianópolis with new features

The festival, which will be held in Gilberto Gerlach Room of the Integrated Culture Center (CIC), will feature more than 80 films, training workshops, special sessions and a short film competition, where the winner will receive a prize of R$3. This year's diverse program promises to involve the public in a true celebration of horror and fantasy cinema.

The festival has a diverse curatorship, led by film critic, journalist and master in film literature from UFSC, Andrey Lehnemann, and by Pedro MC, filmmaker, cultural producer and visual artist. According to Pedro MC, “Floripa Que Horror was born from the need to serve as a reference for young and new lovers of genre cinema, providing an opportunity to explore diversity in the national and international scene.”

One of the big new features for 2024 is Esquenta FQH!, which will open the festival with the Strange Worlds Showcase, featuring films that challenge perceptions of reality and explore the boundaries between fantasy and horror. This special selection prepares the audience for a complete immersion into the festival's fantastic universe.

Another highlight is the cash prize for the best short film in the Competitive Exhibition, an unprecedented initiative by Floripa Que Horror, which aims to encourage new talent and give visibility to independent horror productions.

In addition to the competitive exhibition, the festival features the Graphic Arts and Literature Fair, which will bring together artists from comics, books and visual arts focused on the horror genre. This fair offers the public the opportunity to acquire original works and explore the creativity of artists who dedicate themselves to building dark and fantastic worlds.

Another unmissable attraction is the screening of the classic Carnival of Souls, on November 1st, which will take place outdoors with a live soundtrack by the band Elephantus, creating a unique cinematic experience in the East Center of the Capital.
