Paris International Fantastic Film Festival

The Paris International Fantastic Film Festival (PIFFF), was created in 2011 by the Paris Ciné Fantastique association as a venue for horror, thriller and science fiction films. It takes place in Paris every year in December, and has been recently presented by television station fr:Ciné+ and fr:Mad Movies magazine.[1] PIFFF has prizes in both feature length and short films.[2][3] The most recent festival in December 2018 showed 26 films over 8 days and attracted over 10,000 attendees, making it one of the largest film festivals in the city of Paris.[4][5]

MovieMaker magazine called the festival an "international platform for promising new talent."[6] The festival is held at the historic Max Linder Panorama theater in Paris.[7] The 2018 festival was periodically interrupted by the Yellow Vest gilets jaunes riots that marched by while the festival was in progress.[8]
