Neuchâtel International Fantastic Film Festival (NIFFF) is now live with the best in fantasy

NIFFF TV SUMMONS THE BEST IN FANTASY

The Neuchâtel International Fantastic Film Festival (NIFFF) unveils details about its daily live NIFFF TV show. Every day at 9 p.m. from July 3rd to July 11th, the festival invites all its audience members to watch an original TV programme developed and produced by the NIFFF, with artists in attendance! Get ready for interviews with major directors, the latest industry news, and futuristic debates about utopia and dystopia. NIFFF TV will be there for the whole duration of this year’s special digital issue, and it’s all about fantastic films.

For nine days, she will receive a team of exceptional speakers who will discuss the selected films or offer comical breaks and news flashes: Benoît Forgeard (Director, FR) and Natacha Seweryn (Programmer, FR) with GRANDS ANONYMES DU CINEMA, Philippe Congiusti (Journalist, Couleur 3, CH) and his NiFFFiFiLMS, Manlio Gomarasca (Journalist, Nocturno, IT), Boris Bruckler (Centre de BD de Lausanne, Comics historian, Haute Ecole de Genève, CH), Nicolas Dufour (Journalist, Le Temps, CH), Marina Richter (Journalist, RS), Loïc Valceschini (Programmer NIFFF, CH) and many more.

NIFFF TV is the festival’s way of immersing the audience in this year’s experience. You can watch it at home on NIFFF.CH or anywhere with the NIFFF app, now available to download on the App Store and Google Play.

NARCISSE OF HONOUR: PAUL SCHRADER

For the first time ever, the NIFFF will give out an honorary career award. The first H. R. Giger Narcisse of Honour will be awarded to Paul Schrader, American writer and director emblematic of New Hollywood.

Close collaborator of Martin Scorsese for whom he wrote some of his most famous films (RAGING BULL, TAXI DRIVER) or Sydney Pollack (YAKUZA), Paul Schrader is also a major contemporary filmmaker. He has made iconic movies such as AMERICAN GIGOLO (1980), AFFLICTION (1997) or, more recently, THE CANYONS (2013) written by Bret Easton Ellis.

Paul Schrader will be on NIFFF TV on July 11th for an interview

THE FIRST UNMISSABLE EVENTS

Every day, our speakers will be joined by creators of the films from the programme, as well as special guests calling in remotely or visiting our studio.

The complete schedule of each show will be made available the day before on our website and on the NIFFF app. Stay tuned!

NIFFF EXTENDED HORS-SÉRIE:
IMAGINATION AS A VEHICLE FOR PROGRESS

World class guests will speak every day to ponder on the importance of imagination and the genre of fantastic films in a time of pandemic. Big names in literature – Jean-Marc Ligny (ALLIANCES), ZEP (TITEUF), Pierre Bordage (LES GUERRIERS DU SILENCE), Antoinette Rychner (APRÈS LE MONDE) – will debate with figures from Swiss institutions and research groups – Martin Vetterli (EPFL), Ludovic Maggioni (Neuchâtel Natural History Museum), Yannick Rumpala (Researcher) – as well as VFX experts.

All these speakers will draw up a fascinating picture of how technology adapts to our post-lockdown reality, and think about how the climate crisis will evolve and what all of this means for audiovisual productions.
