The Cannes Film Festival’s Blood Window Showcase has announced its lineup of eight feature films representing among the best of contemporary Ibero-American genre cinema. Set to unspool on May 14 at the Cannes Film Festival’s Marché du Film and staged in collaboration with the Fantastic Pavilion, the Showcase has established itself as a pivotal platform for the international exposure of horror, fantasy, and science fiction films hailing from Ibero-America.

“This selection reflects a new generation of filmmakers who view genre not as a formula, but as a language for exploring the deepest facets of our identity, our fears, and our contradictions. Today, the Blood Window Showcase stands as a platform where these voices find their place within the global industry,” says Blood Window’s Daniel de la Vega.
