NIFFF EXTENDED, our free conference program supported by SRG SSR, includes conferences, roundtable discussions, and masterclasses dedicated to the fantasy genre. In 2025, festivalgoers were able to meet authors such as Jean-Baptiste Del Amo (La Nuit ravagée), Boulet (Sinumonstrus), and Emil Ferris (My Favorite Thing Is Monsters), with each of them detailing their creative process. These conferences can now be watched online. You can also discover the conference/tribute to David Lynch by Pacôme Thiellement, an exploration of the ways the horror genre has been used in video games (AHEAD OF THE GAME, DESIGNING EXISTENTIAL DREAD), and discussions about sustainability in digital creation (THE ART OF SUSTAINABILITY).
