## Summary

The 2026 Sanfic Mórbido Lab has selected six projects that showcase the range of genre filmmaking across Latin America and Spain. The programme matters as an example of how horror and science fiction can explore social concerns, including machismo, inherited shame, identity and faith.

Five projects are from Latin America and one from Spain, with stories spanning Cold War science fiction, extreme horror, a Mapuche identity parable, queer horror comedy and folk horror. Among them are Simón and Raimundo Bucher’s “L4IK4”, about Cold War science fiction; Javier Attridge’s “Beneath the Flesh”, about a young Mapuche woman concealing her heritage; and Antonia Baudouin’s “Chupacu”, in which an alien monster disrupts a macho barbecue. The lab is part of Sanfic Industria, which runs in Santiago from 2 to 8 November.
