The annual international fantastic film festival, running from July 4 to 12 in Neuchâtel, combines genre experiments, Asian cinema, and digital art, balancing auteur approaches with pop culture.
The festival is unique for its bold program, open-air screenings, and focus on new forms of cinema that blur the boundaries between reality and imagination.
