Prefestival

Walpurgis 2026 Presentation


Come celebrate with us the miracle of life, the birth of our new offspring: the second edition of the Walpurgis Queer Horror Film Festival. Join us on Thursday, May 14 at 8:00 PM at Elvira Café (Carrer Consell de Cent 275). We’ll be waiting for you!

Special Session at LCDC

Our friends at La Casa del Cine have done it again. Last year they threw their doors wide open for us, and this year they want us back. On Tuesday, May 19 at 7:00 PM, we’ll be there introducing you to Mathieu Morel, one of the filmmakers featured in our second edition.

Mathieu Morel grew up in a small town in the Beauce region, where he founded the film collective Rabbit Hole with his twin sisters. He moved to Paris in 2014, where he met his partner and creative collaborator, Léolo, with whom he founded the association Horschamp, a key player in the Parisian cultural scene. In 2018, Mathieu was admitted to La Fémis with the short film Night of the Living Sluts, which gained attention on the festival circuit. He graduated in 2019 with jury honors for As Hard as You Can. Since then, he has developed a cinematic universe that blends melodrama, fantasy, eroticism, horror, parody, and experimental forms. His work has been screened at numerous festivals. In 2023, the Cinémathèque Française dedicated a retrospective to his work, and he has just completed his fifth medium-length film, Yaoi Dumb Bitch, partly shot in Tokyo and produced by Yann Gonzalez.

With this first session at LCDC, we just want to whet your appetite. During the festival, you’ll be able to enjoy a second session that will complete the anthology we’ve put together around Mathieu this year.
