Fantasia, North America’s biggest genre film festival, runs from July 17 to August 6

Since its inception in 1996, Fantasia has grown into the largest festival of its kind in North America. Though it maintains its original focus on Asian film, it also spotlights horror, thriller and fantasy titles, along with documentaries and offbeat comedies.

In 2003 — the first year Concordia hosted the festival — it drew 63,000 attendees; by 2013, that number had swelled to 125,000.

Concordia is proud to serve as Fantasia’s permanent home.
