From November 11 to 13, 11 am to 7 pm, eleven works of horror and thriller in vertical 9:16 format come to the Foyer of Paseo Aldrey.
From November 11 to 13, the 41st Mar del Plata International Film Festival invites audiences to discover Reel Fear, VS TECH‘s horror and thriller selection, screening at the first Vertical MicroCinema in Latin America. The program brings together eleven works in vertical 9:16 format — nine series and two short films — from Argentina, the United States, Germany, Mexico, Japan, and the United Kingdom.
An experience that brings vertical storytelling into a collective exhibition space, with stories of obsession, conspiracy, supernatural threats, and psychological terror.
