As it is the 30th Anniversary of Fantasia, we (well, I on behalf of the team and site) will reshare reviews we\u2019ve done for the fest including those done during the fest and those done for films that have played at the fest that we reviewed at other times to give an idea of the scope of Fantasia and how important it is for the film industry as a whole.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

2023 was an odd year for us, but we made the most of the review time we had. See what Felix and Emilie covered for Fantasia 2023:<\/p>\n

As most know by now, Fantasia is a great place for films to premiere, get picked up for distribution if they don\u2019t already have a distributor in place, and generally to make waves, which leads to these films landing on our proverbial desks throughout the year. Here are some of the others from Fantasia 2023 that we have reviewed through the years between Fantasia 2024 and Fantasia 2026:<\/p>\n

\nSympathy for the Devil<\/a>
\nTalk to Me<\/a><\/p>\n

\nThe Childe<\/a>

As we constantly review new films, classics, and re-releases, this list is only complete as of right this moment (at time of posting) and will likely become incomplete at some point.<\/p>\n

Fantasia 2026 runs from July 16th to August 2nd, 2026<\/strong><\/p>\n
