…I would definitely go to the CineFantasy Festival in São Paulo, Brazil.
The intense country will serve as the perfect backdrop for a film festival dedicated to things that live in the dark – horror, sci-fi, fantasy and all things supernatural.
Last year’s event boasted an attendance record of 3,000 people who watched over 160 films on 72 screens. The entire festival is free, with conferences, special guests, lectures and workshops.
This year, the CineFantasy Festival will give away “The Master of the Scream” Award to the film that terrifies the audience to a fever pitch. 12 other, more traditional-sounding awards will be given out as well.
IndieFlix films Eel Girl and El Hilo De Oro (The Golden Thread) are slated to screen. The festival runs Nov. 6 – 15th.
As soon as I learned about CineFantasy I raced to compare rates on travel web sites and start planning my trip. Unfortunately… it’s a bit out of my price range right now. But hey, I can dream, right? I’ll settle with Bobo de Camarao and tequila shots, curled up on the couch watching Eel Girl.
Which isn’t really all that bad of an idea.
