International Film Festival.
About
While predominantly a fantasy/action/horror festival, Fantasia has always embraced films whose sheer individuality puts them in a genre of their own. If you’re not sure whether your film is right for us, consider that we’ve showcased everything from captivating dramas, eccentric comedies, provocative documentaries, mind-blowing experimental works, musicals, even atypical children’s films.
Taking things a step further, in 2012, Fantasia launched the Frontières International Co-Production Market as well as a film market component.
