Review from Michele G.
This festival is fantastic. World cinema unfurls for a full three weeks every July, and the programming team does a phenomenal job of procuring films that you might never see otherwise. Strange Serbian films, Shaw Brothers classics, Russian obscurities, amazing guests, and sometimes live performances make this fest a world leader in the fantastic and weird in cinema.
Jeffrey Combs just put on a one-act play here called Nevermore in which he portrayed a spot-on Edgar Allen Poe to a packed house at the gorgeous Rialto Theater. The HP Lovecraft master class conducted by horror director Stuart Gordon and screenwriter Dennis Paoli was sheer awesomeness.

Also, this is one of the only places you can catch the new, restored footage of Metropolis with a live orchestra!
Fantasia, may you live a long and weird, weird life!!
Love,
Your fans -
Review from Spiro P.

This is my favorite film festival. I appreciate the films that are played at this festival. Alot of the films come from the far east. Some of them are thrillers, fantasy, horror, and/or martial arts.
There are english language movies here as well, but they will not be mainstream ones.
