\"\"<\/a>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

2015 feels like a lifetime ago, let\u2019s 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

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 2015 that we have reviewed through the years between Fantasia 2015 and Fantasia 2026 (some during the fest but from other sources and some before):<\/p>\n
