Horror film festivals held in Santiago and Ibiza

The 48 Hour Film Project Santiago Horror will showcase six short films created within a 48-hour window during the Halloween weekend. The screenings are scheduled for November 4 and 5 at Cinépolis Plaza Egaña, featuring productions from various audiovisual teams including VOILA ESTUDIOS, LA SACERDOTISA, and TRALKAN. The event also includes special screenings of Chilean films, such as Mal Viaje and Necrolovers. An awards ceremony will take place on November 12, judged by industry professionals including Jorge Olguín and Margarita Nilo.

The third edition of the Ibiza Halloween Festival concluded following a reduced schedule. Originally planned as a multi-day event, activities were scaled back due to a national period of mourning following a railway tragedy in Urda. The festival culminated on November 1 at the Espai Cultural de Can Ventosa with a horror short film marathon. Notable winners included José Ignacio Ricarte, who received the jury prize in the Terror Express contest, and Álex Berlanga, who won the audience award.
