3x’s MovieMaker's 25 Coolest Festivals in the World! Genre film glory - horror, sci-if, fantasy & more! 13th Edition: Oct. 22nd - 31st, 2026.

Excited to announce our new initiative @filmquest,

Excited to announce our new initiative @filmquest, a genre focused film market called the "Marché du Cthulhu" as exclusively reported by the awesome William Earl @variety! A new, curated approach to giving filmmakers opportunities to have their work seen and picked up for distribution while building lasting relationships that will benefit them in their careers long term, we plan to greatly expand and grow this market for future seasons after this year's initial launch that will open the door for filmmakers and screenwriters of all kinds around the world. We could not be more thrilled to be bringing this exciting expansion and collaboration to the best city and organizations here in Utah, @provocity @utahfilm @downtownprovo and @exploreutahvalley, for many years to come... and beyond!

Surrounded by eldritch monstrosities, what's Gene

Surrounded by eldritch monstrosities, what's Gene Genie to do but explode some heads with their impossible octaves while strutting their stuff like a true rebel, rebel. Our wish is his command - unless he makes our heads pop off first! Illustrated exclusively for @filmquest by the incomparable illustrator @alexander_buie, Gene Genie is our cheeky homage to the glory of David Bowie and our own festival director in this 4th character in our 2026 series.

When you open a Mummy's tomb, you can't forget about the Mummy's curse - especially when they haven't feasted on a fresh soul for 3,000 years like Rottin' Ramses! Illustrated exclusively for @filmquest by the incredible illustrator @alexander_buie, Rottin' Ramses is our 3rd character of Series 2 debuting at the fest this fall! Which one is your favorite so far?
