From action films to comedy, alternative documentaries to urban drama, historical films to fantasy, the Fantasia Festival celebrates the diversity of film genres. Its daring innovative program is bound to appeal to movie fans and Fantasia regulars.

Already a tradition on the calendar of cultural events in Greater Montréal, Fantasia is a venue for discovery. With almost 200 short and full-length films scheduled, its 9th edition promises to bring surprises and new delights.

I hope people turn out in large numbers for the Fantasia screenings, and commend the organizers for putting together a new edition whose variety is sure to please all. Enjoy!
