Infested (Vermines) — Screening & Discussion with Joko Anwar

With Vermines, the striking debut feature by Sébastien Vaniček, Festival Sinema Prancis presents a rare foray of French cinema into pure horror. This tense, claustrophobic thriller follows a suburban building overrun by deadly spiders, blending raw suspense, social realism, and visual inventiveness. To continue the conversation, we will welcome Joko Anwar, one of Indonesia’s most influential filmmakers, for a discussion on horror cinema in France and Indonesia – its evolution, its distinct features, and its creative potential. A unique encounter for fans of the genre.
