Pacifico, a Spanish-language science fiction creature feature directed by Gonzalo Gutiérrez, will world premiere at Bifan (Bucheon International Fantastic Film Festival), South Korea’s largest genre festival, running July 2-12. The narrative follows a group of young travelers marooned on a Pacific island who encounter a malevolent entity concealed from human civilization for centuries. Positioned as an ambitious creature-driven thriller with genre credentials, the film’s selection by Bifan—a festival historically championing intelligent genre cinema and international voices—suggests artistic ambitions beyond conventional B-movie exploitation. The Spanish-language production represents emerging Latin American genre filmmaking at a significant Asian platform.
