Final Girls Chile - Festival de Cine Fantástico ()

Festival start: 12 November 2020      Festival end: 15 November 2020

We are Final Girls Chile, a film festival dedicated to celebrate women in fantastic films, recognizing their work both in front of and behind the camera.

Inspired by our sisters from the Final Girls Berlin Film Festival, we created this new film festival with the purpose of showcasing fiction, animated, documentary and experimental short and feature films. Submissions are open for our first online edition.

In addition to screenings, we encourage the gathering between filmmakers and horror film audiences through Q&A and workshops, among other activities.

We invite women, trans and non-binary filmmakers and horror fans from all over the world to be part of this witches' Sabbath!

Work in Progress (for Chilean short film or feature film).
