Rising interest amongst the world’s leading film festivals to create genre sidebars for horror, thriller, sci-fi and fantasy films, inspired the Cannes Festival, the Sitges Fantastic Film Fest and Bernardo Bergeret, creator of Ventana Sur’s genre market, Blood Window, to create a special pitching event, that aims to showcase upcoming trends in fantastic cinema production worldwide.
Jérôme Paillard, Cannes Film Market executive director and Fantastic 7 co-founder, introduced the second edition, underlining that “this is certainly an inspiring time” for genre cinema. With 10% of the $1 million budget in place, from a private investor, the producers plan to shoot in New York City or Atlanta to tap into local tax incentives.
Peter Kuplowsy, lead programmer of TIFF’s Midnight Madness sidebar, introduced Canadian psychological horror pic, “Violation” directed and produced by Madeleine Sims-Fewer and Dusty Mancinelli. What the filmmakers propose is “decidedly dark, potentially dangerous and probably deranged, and those are three ingredients that frankly I’m excited to see in any Midnight Madness film,” he said.
