If you're a horror film fan, then this film festival is a must for your calendar in April. L’Horror Film Festival is one of the city’s more distinctive film festivals, using horror films as a way to explore gender, identity and social questions, rather than just jump scares. 

Alongside screenings, the 2026 programme includes conversations, special sessions and parallel workshops, with themes that touch on gender violence, representation and the social possibilities of genre cinema. It’s a festival built not only for horror fans, but for audiences interested in how this eclectic genre can be used to challenge dominant perspectives and open up new ones.

In other words, this isn’t horror as empty spectacle. It is horror with ideas: eerie, provocative and committed to giving space to different voices within a genre still often coded as male.
