Trailer: Fantaspoa 2020 Announces Full Lineup – Acclaimed Brazilian Genre Festival Goes Digital (and Free!) Later This Month
Following the announcement of its first 16 titles, Brazil’s Fantaspoa Fantastic Film Festival is proud to announce the full program for its upcoming 16th edition, which will be held online and completely free of charge. The bold move is courtesy of an unprecedented partnership with Darkflix, a Brazilian video streaming service aimed at fantastic genre productions.
Check out a tgrailer for the 2020 program and read more about this year’s festival below.
Fantaspoa 2020’s full lineup will consist of 47 feature films from 29 different countries and 89 shorts from 25 countries – totaling more than 130 films from 40 countries. The festival’s full lineup will be available for free on the Brazilian streaming platform Darkflix between July 24 and August 2, 2020 – with each title having a maximum cap of 5,000 views. While all films are geo-blocked to Brazil, the festival’s live streams (which include talent and filmmaker Q&As, celebrity masterclasses, lectures, and more) will be available for free to the whole world.
Between its free films for Brazilian audiences and free events accessible to all, Fantaspoa now proudly hosts the largest online initiative of any film event in Latin America – and hopes that its attempts to combat social isolation through digital gatherings will be seen as a small but valiant way to help fight this unprecedented pandemic.
The full program, including all short films and feature films of the sixteenth edition of Fantaspoa is now available at www.fantaspoa.com.
