Fear Screen: European Thrillers and Horrors at CIFF presents a selection of gripping tales and chilling masterpieces, curated by CIFF and screening every Thursday at 8pm for the month of March at the Triskel. From Gothic thrillers to the best of the ‘found footage’ genre to darkly comic folklore, each feature will be introduced by CIFF Programme Manager, Si Edwards.
Cork audiences can catch Georges Franju’s 1960 French fairytale horror Eyes Without a Face, Czech Gothic thriller Morgiana (Juraj Herz, 1972), the terrifying [REC] from Spanish duo Jaume Balagueró and Paco Plaza (2007), and the darkly comic yet shocking Trollhunter from Norway (André Øvredal, 2010). The season of cinematic bone chillers will be complemented by an online programme of European horror shorts, available on CIFF’s Digital Festival Platform nationwide later next month. Details of this special digital programme will be announced across CIFF platforms (corkfilmfest.org, Facebook, Instagram, and X) very soon.
