Riofan Festival

Film Festival
Rio de Janeiro
2008 a 2013

Riofan – Rio’s Fantastic Film Festival was an event aimed at showing and promoting fantastic cinema and related pop culture. Fantastic films are a broad and diverse film genre that mainly encompasses action, horror, science fiction and fantasy titles.


Held for the first time in May 2008, Riofan introduced the best of the world’s productions dedicated to the genre to the public in Rio de Janeiro, showing an extensive program. In 2011, the Festival held its second edition with great success, which received impressive spontaneous media coverage in national and international media outlets. And in 2012, from August 9 to 12, it held its third edition.


The Festival mainly showed films produced in the national and international independent market, in feature and short film format. The films were programmed, for the most part, according to the criteria of being new to Brazil. With this, we presented the public with previews, as well as one-off screenings of films that had little chance of being released in the national circuit. The Festival was competitive in nature, awarding prizes to the most successful films according to the evaluation of the public and a specialized jury.


In addition to showing films, Riofan also held parallel activities related to the theme, such as workshops, courses and debates. And it also sought, whenever possible, to promote greater contact between the public and filmmakers, inviting the latter to present screenings of their films.


Riofan – Rio's Fantastic Festival was produced by the Franco Cultural Association in partnership with the production company Time Machine.
