SPECIAL EVENTS
Fantasia hosts a multitude of special events
throughout the festival, including live musical events, exterior screenings, Virtual Reality
showcases, book launches, live podcasts as
well as several networking cocktails.
Since 2016 the festival has produced a talk
show dedicated to genre cinema, with each
episode featuring stars and filmmakers
from both the International and Quebec’s
film industry. Broadcasted on MAtv and on
demand for Illico subscribers, the platform
reached some 300,000 viewers in 2019. With
several rebroadcasts throughout the year,
exclusive content on Fantasia’s youtube page
and a promotional campaign across its social
media, Fantasia uniquely maintains its relationship with its fans all year long, building
a following that extends beyond the festival
into a community of fans and friends.
