Emerging or unverified festival
Obscura Filmfestival is a Berlin-based genre festival founded in 2016 that focuses on entertaining, offbeat horror, thriller, action, science fiction, fantasy, and adventure films that rarely get regular cinema screenings. It is notable for championing raw, independent, and commercially produced genre cinema outside the mainstream, making it a niche but recognized destination for fans of midnight-movie and B-movie culture.
