Lund International Fantastic Film Festival

Lund Fantastic Film Festival gives Sweden a focused annual space for fantastic cinema that feels more intimate than the largest European genre events but no less useful. Based in Lund, it sits near Night Visions Helsinki in spirit: a regional festival with international reach, committed to horror, fantasy, and speculative cinema without inflating itself into something vaguer.

Films like Let the Right One In, Border, Hatching, and Handling the Undead help sketch its world: Nordic-adjacent, genre-literate, and comfortable with work that moves between folklore, body unease, and art-forward form.

Lund Fantastic matters because festivals of this scale often do the best curatorial work. They can stay nimble, stay local, and still keep a country connected to the larger fantastic conversation.
