What does an audience award show?

The result reflects festival visitors’ preferences. It is not a jury ranking or a general market measure. Lund Fantastic’s 2026 programme brought together 31 features and around 70 shorts across several venues.

Reader and business value

The audience award is a discovery signal for genre-film fans, distributors and other festival programmers. It does not automatically prove theatrical distribution, sales success or broad reach; those require separate agreements and data.

Summary

At Lund Fantastic, held from 28 October to 4 November 2026, viewers chose Momo as best feature and The 12 Inch Pianist as best short.
