Fantasia Film Festival

All things Fantasia. I’ve been covering Fantasia Film Festival since 2018, straight from Montreal to my merch shelf. Fantasia Film Festival has been electrifying Montreal each July/August since 1996 with fantasy, horror, sci-fi, and cult cinema. Its 2008 edition featured world premieres of Pig Hunt and Repo!

Fantasia’s flagship Cheval Noir competition, master-classes, VR shorts, and an open-to-all screening ethos draw over 100,000 fans annually, making it North America’s top genre showcase.
