Now Attending: Fantasia International Film Festival

Yes, we’ve got another film festival to cover this week…and it’s a big one: Fantasia International Film Festival 2021. Also known this year as Fantasia 25.

Last year, Fantasia 2020 was my first plunge into applying for press credentials at a major film festival. Being accepted to cover that virtual event was the very beginning of a new direction with ForReel News And Reviews as we went on to spend the year covering other major film festivals as accredited press. For kickstarting this incredible film festival journey, Fantasia will always hold a special place in my heart. And I’m absolutely delighted to be able to return to cover the festival virtually again.

Fantasia 2021 will run August 5 -25 with, as usual, a fascinating selection of genre films, talks, and experiences. In the video above, I got my friend and fellow movie writer/podcaster Taylor Baker from Drink In The Movies to discuss our thoughts about the this year’s festival and film lineup and, metaphorically speaking, raise the curtain on our experience with this year’s event.
