Fantasporto International Film Festival (Portuguese: Festival Internacional de Cinema do Porto) is an international genre film festival, annually organized since 1981 in Porto, Portugal.
Screening and awarding Fantasy film, sci-fi and Horror film oriented commercial productions, auteur and experimental films from all over the world, Fantasporto has gained a cult following of enthusiastic audiences, ranging from Cinephilia to more popular spectators. It has built the reputation of a discovery festival, premiering films which went on to achieve a Cult film themselves.
Fantasporto has been cited as one of the world's most prestigious genre film festivals, being often featured in Variety and named one of Dread Central's Best Horror Festivals in the World in both 2022 and 2021, as well as one of the 25 Coolest Film Festivals in the World by MovieMaker in 2023.
In its 27th edition in February 2006 the festival reached 104,000 people and 5,000 media references, both domestic and international, with a record of 187 hours of TV time. Present in Porto were about 100 members of the foreign press and about 250 Portuguese journalists and media representatives.
In spite of being organized by a private entity, the event is mostly state funded, with the Ministry of Culture of Portugal leading and the President of the Republic as head of the Honour Committee, along with several private sponsors.
The festival is a former member of the European Fantastic Film Festivals Federation.
