APPS Official Teaser: Horror/Fantasy Anthology to Have its World Premiere at BIFAN

APPS, the Chilean-Argentine horror/fantasy anthology, will have its world premiere at the Bucheon International Fantastic Film Festival.

 

June 15th. In the following month of July, the horror/fantasy anthology APPS, composed of five short films made by Sandra Arriagada, José Miguel Zúñiga, Camilo León, Samot Márquez and Lucio A. Rojas; will begin its international path with its world premiere at one of the most important fantasy film festivals in the world, the 25th edition of BIFAN.

 

José Miguel Zúñiga, the project’s creator, told us about the premiere: “We are super excited to participate in the prestigious BIFAN Festival, it is an honor for us to be part of a contest where such important films for the world have debuted, we hope that audiences will vibrate with APPS”

 

Newcomer Sandra Arriagada said: “I am very happy to participate in this version of BIFAN, unfortunately remotely because of the pandemic situation, but it’s still exciting. I’m a huge fan and have been very influenced by Korean audiovisual work, so this is a great honor and a long-awaited dream which today is finally fulfilled.” 

 

Camilo León, who is also making his international debut through this anthology, added: “Asia is one of my greatest influences of all time and knowing that the premiere of APPS will be at BIFAN makes me nervous, excited and full of joy. It would be great if after this premiere we could travel around the world and give a good image of this genre from Chile.”

 

For his part, Lucio A. Rojas, one of the project’s executive producers, had this to say about the anthology’s future: “We are very proud to once again bring Chilean film to one of the world’s most important fantasy film festivals. Very few genre films are made in Chile and rarely are they able to reach this kind of instance. After its premiere, we expect to show it at important international fantasy film festivals for the rest of the year, and after it has finished making the rounds it will be shown on a streaming platform and edited in physical formats in different countries.”

 

The anthology stars Tutú Vidaurre, Clara Kovacic, Fernanda Finterbusch, León Arriagada, Nestor Cantillana, Nicolás Durán and Ignacia Uribe, among others; and is a co-production between Fascinante Films, Mastodonte, Femtastica Films and Pragma Films.
