We have sadly lost another giant of cinema, director and writer Mako Sajko, legendary author of documentaries.

It is with great sadness that we share the news that Ruggero Deodato, Italian genre film grandmaster and our dear guest from Grossmann 2009, has passed away.

We are calling all fantastic filmmakers to submit their feature films, short films and music documentaries to the 19th edition of the festival. Deadline is the 7th of April.

The MIFF award for Best European Fantastic Film went to Piggy (feature film) and From Beyond (short film). Composer Claudio Simonetti received the Méliès Career Award.
