Fantaspoa’s sixteenth year will consist of 47 feature films from 29 different countries. In addition to features, 89 films from 25 countries will also be included. In total, more than 130 films from 40 countries will be run, creating an atmosphere of inclusion and featuring some of the best genre films planet Earth has to offer.
The viewing process for Fantaspoa is unique this year. The full lineup will be available for free on Darkflix from July 24 to August 2, 2020. Each title has a max viewing cap of 5,000 views so make sure you plan your schedule around your top films. Even though the festival is online, all films are geo-blocked to Brazil, but festival fans fear not.
