Reporting from maCommune.info indicates that the festival continues its focus on genre cinema and fan engagement through a variety of curated screenings and interactive competitions.

Cult Cinema Programming

A central component of the programming for the 16th edition is the inclusion of the film Hardware, directed by Richard Stanley.

The festival also features a cosplay competition, allowing visitors to dress as characters from horror productions.

The integration of cosplay and trivia suggests a community-driven approach to the festival, transforming the cinematic experience into a social gathering for genre enthusiasts in Valentigney.
