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

2021, feels like a lifetime ago, let’s see what we covered at the fest itself and what we covered at other times that also played Fantasia, starting with the films that played at the fest:<\/p>\n

From Felix:
\nThe Sadness<\/a>
\nPhil Tippet’s Mad God<\/a>
\nYakuza Princess<\/a>
\nThe Last Thing Mary Saw<\/a>
\nBrain Freeze<\/a>
\nBaby, Don’t Cry<\/a><\/p>\n

From Emilie:
\nIndemnity<\/a>
\nDreams on Fire<\/a>
\nWonderful Paradise<\/a>
\nBack to the Wharf<\/a>
\nThe Last Thing Mary Saw<\/a>
\nGlasshouse<\/a>
\nRaging Fire<\/a><\/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 2021 that we have reviewed through the years between Fantasia 2021 and Fantasia 2026 (some during the fest but from other sources and some before):<\/p>\n

From Felix:
\n10-33<\/a>
\nBeyond the Infinite Two Minutes<\/a>
\nFrank & Zed<\/a>
\nLast Night in Soho<\/a>
\nLet the Right One In<\/a>
\nLittle Vampire<\/a>
\nThe Spine of Night<\/a>
\nThe Suicide Squad<\/a>
\nTaipei Suicide Story<\/a>
\nWayback<\/a><\/p>\n

From Emilie:
\nAgnes<\/a>
\nAlien on Stage<\/a>
\nFreya<\/a>
\nHellbender<\/a>
\nIda Red<\/a>
\nKing Car<\/a>
\nKing Knight<\/a>
\nKratt<\/a>
\nLucid<\/a>
\nPrisoners of the Ghostland<\/a>
\nThe Righteous<\/a>
\nSeobok: Project Clone<\/a>
\nThe Spine of Night<\/a>
\nUltrasound<\/a>
\nWhen I Consume You<\/a><\/p>\n

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
