WHAT IS FANTASIA?

1996

Creation date of the Fantasia International Film Festival, a non-profit organization dedicated to the presentation, promotion, development and evolution of genre cinema.

MAJOR EVENT

In 2016, the city of Montreal elevated the Fantasia International Film Festival to rank among the city’s major events, thus marking it as an essential part of Montreal culture.

FESTIVAL OF ALL GENRES

The festival specializes in genre cinema with popular appeal, including action, martial arts, thriller, horror, comedy, animation, fantasy, sci-fi, and family movies, alternative documentaries and films beyond categorization.

A RICH VARIETY OF FILMS

Fantasia offers a diversified range of films, assembling feature-length and short films from over 40 countries, providing a rich variety of filmgoing experiences for the public.

PREMIÈRES

The majority of the movies are screened in world, international, North American or Canadian premiere.

MORE THAN 20 DAYS WITH A CAPTIVE AUDIENCE

Unlike most film festivals, which last 10 days or less, Fantasia offers its partners and sponsors a 20-days-plus window. The festival capitalizes on more days, more than 150 feature films, and less screens, which means cannibalisation of crossover audiences during the festival, allowing fans to see more films than a regular 10-day festival.

ENTHUSIASM OF THE AUDIENCE

Fantasia is widely known for the enthusiasm and spirited revelry of its audiences. Passionate and engaged, our festival-goers want to show their love of cinema, and give the warmest welcome to the artists the festival invites.

INTERNATIONAL COVERAGE

The festival is covered by local and foreign media, reporting for the cinema industry and general public alike.

WORLD RENOWNED

Known as the most important genre film festival in North America, Fantasia has become a not-to-be-missed event for cinema lovers and professionals.

FRONTIÈRES

The festival connects with industry professionals through its international co-production market, Frontières. At every edition, hundreds of professionals from the film industry attend the market, including director, actors, producers, and international sales agents.

SOCIAL MEDIA PRESENCE

Besides promoting the festival via its annual printed program guide, which is a collector’s item for the fans, Fantasia has developed its brand across different digital media (Web site, a strong presence on social media…) in order to connect with a new, plugged-in generation.
