TEASERFRENIA (1)

Festival start: 09 December 2026      Festival end: 12 December 2026

TEASERFRENIA is the film festival where adrenaline is measured in seconds. This unique event pays homage to the trailer as the ultimate art form, challenging the audience’s sanity with an uninterrupted blast of stories that are either yet to come... or will never exist.

TEASERFRENIA isn’t looking for the full feature; it seeks pure impact, uncontrolled hype, and the perfect deception. It is the meeting point for directors, editors, and cinephiles who know that, sometimes, two minutes of illusion are worth more than two hours of reality.

"If you can imagine it, you can edit it. Welcome to the madness of the teaser."
