Seven titles including LGBTQ comedy and Mapuche parable headline Sanfic Mórbido Lab lineup
The 7th edition of the Sanfic Mórbido Lab runs from November 2 to 8 in Santiago de Chile.
Event features diverse regional genre works
The festival showcases five titles from Latin America alongside one work from Spain. The selection includes Cold War science fiction, extreme horror, and a gay alien monster comedy. These films reflect the vitality and variety currently found in the region's genre scene.
Films ground stories in local reality
At least four of the titles are grounded in Latin American reality as their genres assume an arthouse mantle. The works explore social issues such as machismo, identity shame, artificial intelligence, and miracle faith culture. This approach treats genre films as reflections of social malaise within the community.
Notable directors return with new features
Simón Bucher presents his first feature film at this event after creating an animated sequence for a recent box office smash. Writer Guillermo Guerrero returns to San Sebastián with his first feature in ten years following a cult classic from 2016.
