"The geek Telluride… Fantastic Fest lives up to its name" – Variety

Fantastic Fest is the largest genre film festival in the United States. We specialize in horror, fantasy, sci-fi, action and just plain fantastic movies from all around the world. We are currently hard at work assembling the best and the strangest films from all over the globe and will be updating this site with the first programming announcements by mid-July.

In the meantime, check out the 2009 edition of Fantastic Fest: the official films, photos, videos and press coverage.
