Night Terrors Film Festival

Night Terrors Film Festival is a genre festival for short films horror, thriller, supernatural, absurd - anything you can think of. Now open for submissions for the show in February 2026.

We do not give out waivers and do not accept unsolicited submissions! We only accept via FilmFreeway, so please don't write us and ask for that, thank you :)

Films selected will be screened in Copenhagen and Aarhus in Denmark on two seperate occasions - It is a great opportunity to have your short films screened for a Scandinavian audience that might not have other ways to experience your work. We accept short films with a max of 20 minutes. The screenings will have a lot of guests from outside Denmark aswell, so it must be either English language or have English subtitles provided.

Please note that if your film is selected we cannot provide travel and expenses in case you wanna visit the festival. We are not in this to make money, the low entry fee is only there to cover expenses the arrangers will have and to ensure the seriousness behind your work.
