MONSTRO – Festival de Cinema Fantástico de Jacareí is an event dedicated to celebrating fantastic cinema in all its forms — horror, fantasy, science fiction, surrealism, experimental cinema, and beyond. Held in Jacareí, in the Vale do Paraíba region of São Paulo, Brazil, the festival has established itself as a space for screening, discovering, and recognizing works that explore the imagination, the uncanny, and the extraordinary.
In its 7th edition, MONSTRO reaffirms its commitment to aesthetic, cultural, and narrative diversity, creating space for local, regional, national, and Latin American productions, while encouraging new talent and promoting greater representation within the genre.
More than a festival, MONSTRO is a meeting point for filmmakers and audiences passionate about cinema that provokes, unsettles, and pushes boundaries.
