The Festival

​​In 1983, five fantastic film festivals joined forces and founded the European Fantastic Film Festivals Federation, with the aim of promoting European fantastic cinema worldwide. Renamed in 2019 as the Méliès International Festivals Federation, it now has 30 members from 21 countries, reaching a global audience of over 800,000 people each year.

Its mission is to promote European fantasy film production not only in Europe but throughout the world, improving its visibility and position with the public and the industry and enhancing its circulation. The Federation works to fulfill this mission through its network of festivals in Europe, as well as supporting other festivals in Asia, North America, South America and the Middle East.

Catalunya Film Festivals is the association of Catalan film festivals and exhibitions that defends and manages the great cultural value that they represent for the audiovisual sector, for culture and for society, contributing to growth and local, national and international projection.

He understands film festivals as a key part of the Catalan film sector; a platform for the dissemination of unpublished, plural and diverse cinema and a generator of reflection and collective experiences.

Terror Arreu de Catalunya (TAC) is an umbrella association of film festivals in Catalonia dedicated to the horror genre. It was founded in June 2010 by the festivals Cardoterror (Cardedeu), Cryptshow (Badalona), FesTerror (LLoret de Mar) and TerrorMolins (Molins de Rei).

First of all, it wants to dignify the horror genre, but it is also open to other expressions (theater, literature, etc.) with horror, gore or fantasy themes and to promote a better dissemination of horror festivals. Every year, it awards the TAC Award for the best horror and fantasy short film to stimulate Catalan creators and create meeting points and exchanges of ideas and contacts.

The San Sebastián Fantastic and Horror Film Week, Fancine-Fantastic Film Festival of Málaga, TerrorMolins – Molins de Rei Horror Film Festival and Isla Calavera-Fantastic Film Festival of the Canary Islands-Ciudad de la Laguna, four state events that coincide in theme and month of celebration, join forces to spread the passion for the fantastic online.
