Sur le seuil
To celebrate the 30th anniversary of the Fantasia Festival, we present a film series in the image of this now-unmissable event: eclectic and exhilarating. These works, which have shaped the festival’s history over the years, reflect the variety of its programming – from cult classics to hidden gems, from masters of genre cinema to the audacious fringes of arthouse film, charting a fantastic journey across eras, styles, and cultures.
The films presented in September will be announced in August.

A massacre hits the headlines, raising many questions. On the same day, Thomas Roy, an internationally-renowned writer of horror novels, attempts suicide after cutting off his fingers. Nothing seemed to link the two events until psychiatrist Paul Lacasse inherited the case.
