Fantastic Fest is a week-long festival featuring the best in new science-fiction, fantasy, horror, animation, crime, Asian, and all around badass cinema. The event was created to offer exposure to genre films which are often overlooked by the traditional festival circuit. We strive to offer acquisition, media and exhibition opportunities for undistributed films as well as to spotlight upcoming genre theatrical releases and give audiences a chance to see 35mm prints of repertory classics.
The film festival is a volunteer-driven event and will be held the evenings of October 5, 12, 19, and 26th of this year. The theme of the festival is "50 Years of Polish Film from the Lodz School." We have selected films from well-known graduates of the National Film School of Poland (the "Lodz School") including narrative works by Wajda and Kieslowski (including some of their earliest works that have never been shown in America before). There will also be a screening of films from recent graduates and students at the UT School of Communications. Several graduates of the Lodz school who are now successful directors have been invited to attend and speak about their works. An exhibition of historic Polish film posters and a VIP reception is planned for pass holders and invited dignitaries from the film community in Poland and Austin.
SXSW's original goal was to create an event that would act as a tool for creative people and the companies they work with to develop their careers, to bring together people from a wide area to meet and share ideas. That continues to be the goal today whether it is music, film or the internet. And Austin continues to be the perfect location.
