The upcoming meta psychological thriller And Her Body Was Never Found has released its first teaser trailer. The film is set to hold its international premiere at the Bucheon International Fantastic Film Festival, known as BIFAN, in South Korea this July.
Directed by Polaris Banks, the project offers a unique look at a relationship under pressure. The story follows a couple who ventures deep into the wilderness to film a movie about their own troubled dynamic. As they work, they discover that their real-life conflicts may be turning into something far more dangerous.
The production itself is as unconventional as its premise. Filmmakers Mor Cohen and Banks, who are a real-life couple, shot the feature with minimal resources while camping in the wilderness. By using their own marital arguments as the basis for the script, the duo created a meta experience that blurs the lines between their actual lives and the fictional narrative on screen.
A Festival Standout
The film has already generated significant buzz following earlier festival screenings. Critics have praised the project for its originality and intensity, with some calling it a standout experience that benefits from going in with as little prior knowledge as possible. The official teaser trailer provides a glimpse into the isolated, high-stakes atmosphere the filmmakers captured during their remote production.
For those attending the festival, the international premiere is scheduled for July 5, 2026, at CGV Sopung 8. The film, which runs 76 minutes, is produced by Banks and Cohen, with Tristan Barr, Josh Doke, Jonathan Barkan, and David Gim serving as executive producers.
This kind of guerrilla filmmaking, where the process and the product become indistinguishable, often leads to the most compelling genre entries. By stripping away the traditional studio infrastructure, the filmmakers have crafted a project that feels raw and immediate, making it a title to watch as it continues its festival run.
