International Vampire Film And Arts Festival (0)

Début du Festival: 25 mai 2017      Fin du Festival: 28 mai 2017

From Stoker to Rice; from Nosferatu to classic Hammer onto Twilight, The Strain and beyond - the vampire genre is the world’s most enduring and influential horror genre straddling film, television, literature, theatre, games and new media.

IVFAF brings together vampire media-makers from across the World in one cross-industry event – an intense four-day programme of film screenings, book launches, readings, theatre, seminars, workshops, networking events, a trade fair and parties.

And where else to hold this unique event but in Transylvania - within the walls of the dramatic medieval citadel that was the birthplace to the real Vlad Dracula?

Selected Feature, Short and Smartphone movies will be shown in a network of subterranean pop-up cinemas in the heart of Sighisoara’s medieval citadel. There will be an intense programme of seminars, workshops, director Q&As, a pitching competition and plenty of networking events and parties.

Delegates with an Executive Badge will also get access to the VIP Bar and a private lunch at nearby Fagaras Castle – Vlad Dracula’s base for six years.

Our vision at IVFAF is to be a unique World leading one-stop meeting of the vampire industry, networking filmmakers and performing arts professionals with funders, promoters, distributors and of course each other.
