  • Festival Description:

    Fantasia International Film Festival is North America’s largest genre film festival, an event that promises to deliver diversity, innovation, entertainment, food for thought and a good dose of eccentric and biting humour. Genre cinema is experiencing a rapid growth and its influences can be felt on both auteur cinema and more mainstream films. This intense churning of ideas and images is reflected in Fantasia's annual line-up and activities with a selection intended for a wide audience ranging from reinvented pop culture to auteur cinema and speculative fiction, horror flicks to martial arts and grand epics. It has showcased everything from captivating dramas, eccentric comedies, provocative documentaries, mind-blowing experimental works, musicals, even atypical children’s films.

    The Fantasia focus has been on features and shorts in Fantasy, Horror and Animation genres and it has competitive categories for Asian, International and Quebecois films. In 2009 over 50 Asian films, 35 from Japan, the rest from Korea, China/Hong Kong and Thailand, invaded Montreal as part of the Fantasia Film Festival’s 13th edition. With a lavish slice of Asian cinema, the Fantasia Film Festival offers a rich mosaic of lush, inspired and audacious cinema.
