The Feratum International Fantastic Film Festival celebrates its 13th edition, over four days, where it brought together horror fans in an event that offered 83 titles and a rich variety of informative activities. The festival not only presented outstanding films, but was also a tourist attraction, allowing national and international visitors to discover local culture in an environment full of creativity and cinema.
Feratum, the festival that revives horror in Mexico, has managed to become one of the festivals most loved by the public with a unique atmosphere and its cultural focus, promoting tourism and knowledge of local culture.
“It is a very cool event. Obviously it is not for everyone because not everyone likes horror, but the truth is that it has been well received; this is the fifth year and the thirteenth edition, and now they are in full swing.
“The Quiroga square is emblematic, in addition to being the most beautiful in Latin America and having a very important peculiarity, that it does not have a church around it. It is a place of union, where all the people and communities meet on weekends to socialize and gather as a family; so any event that takes place is enjoyed a lot,” said teacher Citlali Obregón Alvarado, Secretary of Tourism, Culture and Crafts of Pátzcuaro in an interview.
Feratum is a horror event that stands out in Mexico and attracts tourism
The International Festival seeks to position itself as one of the most outstanding horror events in Mexico. Taking advantage of the charm of Pátzcuaro, a magical town with a cultural legacy that attracts both locals and tourists, the local government has organized a cultural and tourist program so that visitors can enjoy more than one day.
“The idea is to position the festival as one of the best horror festivals, because Pátzcuaro is a magical and beautiful town, something that the people of Morelos like a lot. In addition, we are putting together a cultural and tourist program, since visitors need more than one day to get to know it and visit the historical monuments.
“This year’s activities include the Coffee, Chocolate and Wine Festival, and then setting up the monumental nativity scene, completely handmade, with figures measuring 2 or 3 meters, representing the seven regions of Michoacán. All of our artisans participate in the nativity scene,” he added.
