Fantastic Flings
Applying the notion of a “fling” (a carefree romance or casual hook-up) to our partnerships with international festivals, SLASH is proud to get into bed with Italy’s TOHorror Fantastic Film Fest for its inaugural Fantastic Fling. It’s a collaborative program that explores relationships through a genre lens and showcases the best shorts from both festivals, embracing mutual exposure in the spirit of “we’ll show you ours if you show us yours!” Come to the screening, feel the festival love, and watch a wide range of relationships unfold on the big screen: from budding friendships and intimate encounters to codependent, toxic breakups and would-be romantic disasters. It’s a fun-filled program that promises all the chaotic excitement—and some of the awkwardness!—of a first-time hook up. Satisfaction guaranteed!
