In the organizer's words:

Fantasy Filmfest White Nights 2025

Creepy, funny, disturbing and crazy, wacky, breathless and stylistically elegant - the new edition of Fantasy Filmfest White Nights shakes us up with its multifaceted themes and moods. Real madness (THE SURFER aka Nicolas Cage in the title role) meets supernatural sensations (DEAD TALENTS SOCIETY from the Midnight Madness section of the Toronto Film Festival and San Sebastian Award winner THE WAILING). Steven Soderbergh's ghost film PRESENCE is also guaranteed to have a lasting effect, and we can confidently predict instant cult status for COMPANION starring Sophie Thatcher and Jack Quaid.


We are known to have a soft spot for French-language thrillers. With NIGHT CALL and MADS, we were able to win two highlights. But the program is also pleasingly international with ten films from a total of ten production countries, including disgusting splatter from South Africa (the "Melting" classic STREET TRASH in a new edition). In addition to great up-and-coming talents, there will be a reunion with festival-proven filmmakers - from Lorcan Finnegan to David Moreau, Ryan Kruger and Viljar Bøe. I beg your pardon - all in a single weekend? Of course! Because, as always, we bring the good films and you bring the good vibes. Here's to a good year 2025! We've already made a start...

Creepy, funny, disturbing and crazy, wacky, breathless and stylish - the new edition of Fantasy Filmfest White Nights offers a program with a wide range of themes and moods. Real madness (THE SURFER aka Nicolas Cage in the title role) meets supernatural sensations (DEAD TALENTS SOCIETY from the Toronto Film Festival's Midnight Madness and San Sebastian award winner THE WAILING). Steven Soderbergh's ghost film PRESENCE will for sure also have a long-lasting effect, and we can with confidence say that COMPANION starring Sophie Thatcher and Jack Quaid will immediately get cult status.

It's no secret that we fall for French-language thrillers. NIGHT CALL and MADS are two of our highlights. But the program is also pleasingly international with ten films from a total of ten production countries, including disgusting splatter from South Africa (the "Melting" classic STREET TRASH in a new edition). In addition to new- comer talents, there will also be reunions with festival-proven filmmakers - from Lorcan Finnegan to David Moreau, Ryan Kruger and Viljar Bøe. What, all in a single weekend? Of course! Because, as always, we bring the good films and you bring the good vibes. 2025 will for sure be a great year! We've already made a start...
