*International Horror and Dissidence Film Festival Monstrua*
The International Horror and Dissidence Film Festival Monstrua is in its second edition and celebrates its first edition in the format of a film festival. Its first gathering took place at the Centro Cultural Elefante, and in this edition the festival consolidates its base in Santiago as a critical platform for the articulation of creators, researchers, audiences, and specialists linked to horror cinema.
Since its inception, the festival proposes horror as an aesthetic and political device to address dissidence. Understood as bodies, identities, memories, and narratives that escape the norm, with a particular focus on the experiences of the LGTBIQA2S+ community, the genre unfolds in Monstrua as a territory for discomfort, alterity, and the questioning of hegemonic imaginaries.
The program for this edition brings together a selection of national and international works that interrogate the limits of the genre and its capacity to push against the monstrous, the abject, and the forbidden. The screenings will be held at the historic Teatro Comunitario Novedades on Thursday, December 3, from 17:00 to 21:00 hours.
Perspectives – Montluçon International Film Festival is an international feature film festival dedicated to emerging cinematic creation. We are looking for bold and innovative films from both France and abroad.
The festival will take place at the Le Palace cinema in Montluçon, in the Allier region of France.
In addition to the competition, the festival also features two retrospective sections, showcasing films produced between the 1990s and 2010s.
We're tired of participation trophies and lukewarm reviews. You spend months on a film (sometimes years) and the only feedback you get is a rejection email. If you're lucky. Most festivals don't even bother with that.
Roast Film Fest exists to break that cycle. We created a festival where the feedback is the product. Not vague, not diplomatic, not designed to protect your feelings. Real critique, specific, actionable and delivered with the kind of wit that makes it impossible to ignore.
The format borrows from the American comedy tradition of the roast: you submit your work, you sit in the hot seat, and you hear exactly what's wrong with it. But underneath the humor, there's genuine respect for your ambition. We roast because we believe you can do better.
We don't hate your film. We just love cinema too much to let you get away with mediocrity.
Every major filmmaker was told their work wasn't good enough at some point. The difference between those who made it and those who didn't? They had someone honest enough to say it and they listened.
The festival circuit gives you silence. We give you fire.

FROM LA RAMBLA TO THE WORLD
A celebration of talent and the future of cinema in the heart of Barcelona.
The heart of Barcelona as a stage and platform for cinematic talent. La Rambla in Barcelona is much more than an emblematic avenue. It is a living symbol of the city, an open walkway to the world where cultures, languages, artistic expressions, and emotions converge. But beyond its touristic role, La Rambla also becomes a great showcase of Barcelona’s identity and a privileged path to project local cinematic talent on an international scale.
