Fantastic Fest 2010: September 23-30
"The geek Telluride… Fantastic Fest lives up to its name" – Variety
"The most important film festival in North America" – Texas Monthly
"If there's a heaven, I want it to be just like the Alamo Drafthouse South Lamar during the week of Fantastic Fest." – Devin Faraci, CHUD.com

Fantastic Fest is the largest genre film festival in the United States. We specialize in horror, fantasy, sci-fi, action and just plain fantastic movies from all around the world. We are currently hard at work assembling the best and the strangest films from all over the globe and will be updating this site with the first programming announcements by mid-July.

In the meantime, check out the 2009 edition of Fantastic Fest: the official films, photos, videos and press coverage.

Jess Franco Live
This year Fantastic Fest welcomes hugely prolific auteur Jess Franco, a man who has carved out a special place in film history with his wholly unique oeuvre of sex films. We will show a selection of Mr. Franco's films during Fantastic Fest and present him with our first Lifetime Achievement Award, sponsored by Ain't It Cool News. Jess Franco and his longtime collaborator Lina Romay will attend the screenings of VENUS IN FURS, SUCCUBUS and BARE BREASTED COUNTESS.
