[Filmfestivalresearch] Article on San Sebastian Horror and Fantasy Film Festival

[Rosana Vivar Navas]

Hi all, 

I am writing to draw your attention to my article on San Sebastian Horror and Fantasy Film Festival. The festival is located in the Basque Country (Spain) and has been held in this location for over 25 years. 

http://www.participations.org/Volume%2013/Issue%201/S1/6.pdf

It is an ethnographic research work undertaken during the 2012, 2013 and 2014 annual festivals and gives account of the rebellious and playful attitude of the audience. In this study I build on notions of play to explore the audiences' peculiar 'cult behaviors', some of which have been carried out since the festival begun. The article sets out to demonstrate that the uncouth attitude of the audience in this particular festival shows a more politicized position than within other 'more mainstream' cult-film communities in Spain such as the one in Sitges Film Festival. 

Best
