The story

Splat Film Fest in Warsaw/Wroclaw and others

Splat!FilmFest is a Warsaw-based genre film festival covering horror, fantasy, science fiction, and dark comedy, founded around 2014, and has been named among the world's best horror festivals by Dread Central and among the best genre festivals globally by Movie Maker Magazine.

Splat!FilmFest occupies a specific niche in Warsaw's film calendar: a genre festival built around horror, fantasy, science fiction, and dark comedy, the kinds of films that international festivals often celebrate but Polish cinemas rarely book for wide release.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

Organized by the production company Nowa Aleksandria and co-financed by the City of Warsaw, the Polish Ministry of Culture, and the Polish Film Institute, the festival screens genre premieres that otherwise struggle to reach Polish distribution, running primarily at the Kinoteka cinema

02

The mystery stays covered

It belongs to the Melies International Festivals Federation, formerly the European Fantastic Film Festivals Federation, connecting it to a continent-wide genre-film network

03

The city starts moving

Its 2026 edition marked Roger Corman's hundredth birthday with dedicated programming honoring the low-budget filmmaking pioneer, and the festival runs companion strands including WTF Fest for deliberately bad or cult cinema and a Najlepsze z Najgorszych, or Best of the Worst, screening series
