MOTELX 2025: Official Spot
We present the long-awaited Official Spot of the 19th edition of MOTELX, where the love for horror finds its voice: "I'm gonna find you and kill you with love".
MOTELX – Lisbon International Horror Film Festival reveals the official image and teaser for its 19th edition, developed by production company Playground, which created a visual identity immersed in a disturbing and cinematic atmosphere.
The teaser, directed by Cristiana Miranda with photography by Jackson Hunt, features a minimalist and symbolic aesthetic, leading the viewer through a silent chase in a setting shrouded in mystery, where the tension is constant and palpable.
This same visual intensity is found in the poster photography, taken by photographer Rui Aguiar. The image depicts a distorted human figure that conveys a sense of displacement and ambiguity, exploring themes such as fragmented identity and ghostly presence, so prevalent in the horror world.
The festival's design and branding, created by designer Pedro B. Maia, stands out for its boldness and immediate impact. The typography combines tradition and modernity, evoking suspense and mystery, reflecting the originality and visual strength that define MOTELX.
