Montevideo Fantástico III was the third edition of the Montevideo Fantastic Film Festival, an Uruguayan event dedicated to promoting national and international cinematic productions in the horror, fantasy, and science fiction genres. This edition took place from May 16 to May 23, 2008, featuring twenty-two feature films and forty short and medium-length films from 14 countries. The festival aims to showcase independent and ultra-independent works that often struggle to access traditional commercial and cultural circuits.
