Last Updated on August 5, 2021

The 15th annual Fantasia international film festival will take place from July 14 to August 7 in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. The line-up contains over 130 features and nearly 250 shorts. The vast majority of the films fall into the horror, sci-fi, fantasy and action genres, and many of the screenings will be world or North American premieres.

Some of the films being screened include DON’T BE AFRAID OF THE DARK (hosted by Guillermo del Toro), RED STATE, KIDNAPPED, TROLL HUNTER, STAKE LAND, and RARE EXPORTS. As if that that wasn’t cool enough, Chris Bumbray will cover the bulk of the Festival for AITH while our very own John Fallon aka The Arrow will be serve on the jury for the international short film section!
