This participation is a key strategic milestone. FantaFestival is one of Italy’s most important and long-running film festivals dedicated to science fiction, fantasy, and horror, providing an ideal platform to showcase the project to a targeted industry and audience. The event will serve to strongly validate the project’s genre credentials and reinforce the value of our Italian co-production with Around Culture Srl.

During the festival, Cristiano Stern will host a dedicated presentation covering the project’s unique aspects, including:

The innovative Brazil-Italy co-production model.

The project’s clear funding strategy and progress.

The pioneering tokenization process and its role in engaging a modern audience.

Crucially, this event will feature the world premiere of a short teaser for “A Desconhecida”, offering a tangible first look at the film’s distinct visual style and narrative potential.

Looking beyond Rome, we are actively exploring further opportunities to solidify the film’s presence on the European genre festival circuit. We are in preliminary discussions for participation in the renowned Science+Fiction Festival in Trieste, another top-tier event that would further amplify the project’s visibility and appeal.

“Attending FantaFestival is a fantastic opportunity to start building a community around ‘A Desconhecida’ in Europe,” says Cristiano Stern. “Presenting our vision and the first moving images of the film to a dedicated genre audience is a critical step in validating the project’s international appeal and connecting with key industry partners ahead of our production schedule.”

This strategic festival presence is a core part of our plan to maximize the project’s visibility, market potential, and ultimately, its return on investment.

We thank you for your continued support and will provide further updates as they become available.

Sincerely,

The Team at SBS Studios
