MORE ABOUT THE PROJECT

FANTASMA is an experimental documentary from the Czech Republic and Slovakia. This 65-minute film, produced by Tomáš Michálek and Martina Netíková of Cinémotif Films, explores the intense journey of Max, a character who undergoes Chamber REST, or dark therapy, and discovers that his deepest secrets are fragments of a much larger, more elusive story. The narrative challenges perceptions, questioning reality and truth within the film itself. Set for release in December 2025, FANTASMA promises an intriguing, thought-provoking cinematic experience.
