Fantasia
Eclectic International Film Festival (mid-July)
The Fantasia film festival describes itself as a “genre” film festival, which means it’s dedicated to films that obviously submit to a genre in either theme, style or use of stereotypes.
It’s long been famed as a place to enjoy Asian releases, but now goes far beyond that, offering three-weeks of niche and quirky world cinema that would otherwise be nigh-impossible to catch on the silver screen.
