Fantastic Fest is the largest genre film festival in the US, championing challenging and thought-provoking cinema while celebrating new voices and new stories from filmmakers around the world. We collaborate with other festivals, archives, cinematheques, and individuals to spotlight lesser-known film regions and luminaries in an ongoing effort to expand the general knowledge and appreciation of cinema. Supporting film in its most provocative, ground-breaking, and under seen forms is our all-consuming passion, giving audiences a chance to find new favorites and future genre classics in the process.
Each year the Fest brings together fans, guests, industry, press, and movie lovers of all stripes in an inclusive and fun environment for a weeklong celebration of film in all its forms through carefully curated screenings and events, both in and outside of the theaters. Much more than a film festival, Fantastic Fest features wild parties, live podcast recordings, boxing debates, and even Austrian cocktail robots. Submit your film here
