Featured Story

Thanks everyone for a "Fantastic" year. We're currently compiling all the feedback from the attendees and will be soon hard at work planning Fantastic Fest 2010. Check back here for a summary of improvements and refinements that we will be delivering next year, not the least of which is online ticket pickup and barcode scanning to eliminate multiple ticket pickup for the same time slot. In the meantime, check out the list of the press coverage from Fantastic Fest 2009 so far, and also be sure to check out Fantastic 2009 photos on Flickr and videos on YouTube.

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.
