Entries - Fantaspoa 2023

Created in 2005, Fantaspoa - International Fantastic Film Festival of Porto Alegre - is the pioneer festival dedicated to bringing fantastic films to Brazil.

Fantaspoa has the following official sections: Short Film Competition (subdivided into live-action/animation and national/international), Ibero-American Feature Film Competition, and International Competition. The festival also has special programming sections that change from edition to edition.

In each edition, the festival grants 15 awards in the different competitive sections of the festival, apart from the Lifetime Achievement Award. This award has honored some of the best auteurs of the fantastic genre, such as Roger Corman, Christina Lindberg, Larry Wilson, Luigi Cozzi, Lamberto Bava, Ruggero Deodato, Claudio Simonetti, Stuart Gordon, David Schmoeller, Frank Henenlotter, Lloyd Kaufman, Simon Boswell, Richard Stanley, Bill Plympton, Katt Shea, Jeff Lieberman, IGG Nabwana and Yoshihiro Nishimura.

Each year the festival welcomes more than 50 guests that participate in Q&As after the screenings, bringing together the audience and the filmmakers. This initiative, as well as the several workshops and lectures that take place every year, fosters the study, diffusion, and production of cinema in Brazil.

Over its 18 years, Fantaspoa became the biggest genre festival in Latin America and the main film event in the city of Porto Alegre. For many filmmakers, the festival became a reference for conviviality. Many call themselves a family and over 100 have the festival logo tattooed. The festival is also considered the best exhibition window for fantastic films in Brazil. Fantaspoa is the only festival from South America that is a member of the Méliès – European Fantastic Film Festivals Federation (EFFFF). The Méliès federation brings together the 25 most relevant fantastic film festivals worldwide. In 2019 and 2021, Fantaspoa was listed on the MovieMaker's Bloody Best Genre Fests in the World. Also, Dread Central has named Fantaspoa one of the Best Horror Festivals in the World in 2021 and 2022.

The nineteenth edition of Fantaspoa will take place from the 13th to the 30th of April, 2023.

We invite the filmmakers that work with fantastic cinema to submit their works on www.filmfreeway.com/fantaspoa

Atividades

Oficina de Efeitos Especiais em Maquiagem

De 03 a 19 de maio, acontece o IX Fantaspoa. Além das diversas sessões de exibição, o evento trará duas atividades de formação: a “Oficina de Efeitos Especiais em Maquiagem”, ministrada pelo diretor capixaba e especialista em efeitos especiais Rodrigo Aragão; e o curso teórico “Giallo”, ministrado pelo diretor italiano Luigi Cozzi.

Curso Teórico sobre Giallo

Originalmente utilizado para descrever livros de bolso baratos de suspense e mistério, que eram publicados na Itália com capas amarelas, o termo "giallo" (amarelo, em italiano) passou a nomear um ciclo de filmes produzidos no país entre as décadas de 1960 e 1970.

Exposição de fotos Profondo Giallo

O cinema de terror italiano teve seu auge nos anos setenta e oitenta. Diretores como Mario Bava, Dario Argento e Lucio Fulci, tiveram uma contribuição vital para o desenvolvimento cinematográfico desse gênero.
