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.
Dolph Springer wakes up one morning to realize he has lost the love of his life, his dog, Paul. During his quest to get Paul (and his life) back, Dolph radically changes the lives of others. In his journey to find Paul, Dolph may lose something even more vital–his mind.
Quentin Dupieux
Quentin Dupieux is a self-taught French filmmaker and musician. He made his first short films as a teenager, and one of them, Du côté de chez Cinane (1995), was acquired by Canal+. Since the channel had concerns about the rights to a song used in the film, he decided to replace it by "playing with rap instrumentals on a synthesizer". Thus was born his passion for electronic music, where he became known as Mr. Oizo. After working on music videos, commercials, and several short and medium-length films, he directed his first feature, Steak, in 2007. His second feature, Rubber (2010), about a murderous tire, marked a turning point in his filmmaking career. The film was selected for Critics' Week at the Cannes Film Festival. He is also known for Deerskin (2019), Smoking Causes Coughing (2022) and Yannick (2023).
