This year, Fantasia will take place at two separate theaters within Concordia University (1455 de Maisonneuve West), the Hall Cinema and the Cinema J.A. de S. We are screening over 90 films, a record for us, Fantasia president Pierre Corbeil tells Fango. We have two years worth of programming. For our seventh edition, Fantasia is bigger and better than ever.
