We haven’t forgotten about our miniature fans!

Lund Fantastic is not only about late-night horror and things going badly after midnight. This year, younger festival visitors get their own mix of fantasy, ghosts, animation, costumes and creative activities.

From Momo and the haunted Room 213 to a free short-film programme at Lund City Library, a Halloween costume parade and an afternoon of making things, there are several ways to join the festival before bedtime.

Momo

31 October · 12:00 · Kino 1
7+ · English dialogue with English subtitles

Young orphan Momo has an unusual gift: she listens. Properly.

Based on Michael Ende’s classic novel, Christian Ditter’s Momo follows her as a mysterious corporation convinces people to save time — until everyone becomes so busy being efficient that they no longer have time for each other.

With the help of a mysterious tortoise and Master Hora, the guardian of time, Momo sets out to take back what has been stolen.

A big-screen fantasy adventure about friendship, time and why perhaps not every minute needs to be productive.

Room 213

31 October · 14:30 · Kino 2
11+ · Swedish dialogue

Summer camp should mean swimming, new friends and grilled sausages.

Unfortunately for Elvira, it also means being placed in Room 213 — a room that has stood empty for years.

Based on Ingelin Angerborn’s popular novel, Emelie Lindblom’s Room 213 is a Swedish ghost story about friendship, courage and the uncomfortable possibility that the camp rumours might actually be true.

Perfect for younger horror fans who are ready for something a little spooky.

Fantastiska Familjepaketet

28 October · 16:00 · Lund City Library
Free admission

Seven short films, just under an hour, and no requirement to sit still for the whole thing.

Lund Fantastic and Lund City Library present a free short-film programme for children, including two live-action films connected to Sweden’s national minorities: A Doll Named Glick, with dialogue in Swedish and Yiddish, and The Electrical Cabinet, with dialogue in Swedish and Finnish.

They are joined by five animated films from around the world with no dialogue at all — moving from playful and cheerful to sad and just a little bit spooky.

Before the screening, director Uta Monika Arning joins us to talk about making A Doll Named Glick — and brings the doll with her.

Creative Workshop

28 October · 14:00–15:30 · Lund City Library

What should the poster for the Lund Fantastic Audience Award look like?

Creepy? Funny? Colourful? Full of monsters?

You decide.

Join us for an afternoon of drawing, painting and making things. Design your own Audience Award poster, paint pumpkins, decorate bookmarks and take your creations home.

Bring your imagination. We provide the rest.

Kids Halloween Costume Parade

31 October · 13:30 · Kino Atrium
Free · No registration needed

Monsters, ghosts, witches and strange creatures welcome.

Come in your favourite Halloween costume — or borrow one from us — and take a walk down the purple glitter carpet in Kino Atrium.

This one is not a competition. Whether your costume is scary, sparkly, funny or something nobody can quite identify, every child who takes part gets a prize.

Parents and guardians are welcome to take photos, too.

So bring the kids, borrow a costume, meet a ghost, make some art and watch something fantastic.

Miniature film fans are film fans too.
