CULTfilm: Best of Final Girls Berlin 2024

Final Girls Berlin Film Festival showcases horror cinema that’s directed, written, or produced by women and non-binary filmmakers. They are committed to creating space for female voices and visions, whether monstrous, heroic or some messy combination of the two, in the horror genre. We all have seen more than enough representations of women as beautified victims and constructions of male fantasies or anxieties, and are working towards the primacy of women as subjects and storytellers in horror.

CULTfilm and WORM are proud to present a curated selection of the best films from the 2024 edition of Final Girls Berlin Film Festival.
