Where to see the award films in 2025?

Every year, Gerardmer points to all forms of fantastic cinema. For the publication of 2025, the Jury Grand Prix was a violent, Chris Nash director, and the public prize returned to strange, the Irish Thriller Sekebuns signed Damian MC Carthy.

These two films reflect the diversity of terrible genre. By the violent nature, the classic Slaver looks at the thinker and the Imeretian approach, after the resurrection of the murderer.

At the same time, strangeness combines a psychological thriller and supernatural horror, a blind average in a worrying world that is opposed to mysterious forces.

Brutal enthusiasts can rejoice: with violent nature and strangeness, insomnia is exclusively in France. This stream platform, though known in the sector, is distinguished by its giants as an inadmissible actor for all fans of gender cinema.

His catalog emphasizes cult works, unknown nuggets, and necessary exclusives. And at the Gerardmer Festival with these two awards, it’s time to look.

Violent in nature, Chris Nash offers Slaver, where the viewer receives the murderer’s point of view, Johnny (Ri Barrett), a colossus who returned from the dead after the flight of St. Medallion.

I wanted to create a film that impresses the existing saga in the fourth or fifth part“, Explains the director in the press team. Far from the usual codes of the genre, the film promotes a slow and thinker staging, where he claims to be inspired by filmmakers such as Gus van Santi or Terrence Malik.

In turn, weirdness plays a disgruntled atmosphere and an unpredictable story. Director Damian Mc Carthy says: “My goal was to mix some sub-janies that I love: haunted house film, psychological thriller, criminal investigation and supernatural horror.

The story is followed by Darcy (Carolin Broaken), a blind medium that uses cursed objects to understand the secrets of his sister’s murder. With its dark corridors and its oppressive atmosphere, the film plays with childish fears black and unknown.
