    Fantasia 2020 : Time of Moulting en North American Premiere

    An entrancing debut (made at the Baden-Württemberg film school in Ludwigsburg!) and one of the major discoveries from this year’s Rotterdam Film Festival, Sabrina Mertens’ Time of Moulting unfolds as series of beautifully planned shots; a films composed of dense, domestic still lives, intricate tableaux vivants – all beautifully rendered in earthy, amber hues – which slowly morph into a disturbing portrait of one woman’s steady...

    Taking a familiar genre trapping and doing something new and fresh with it is a rare thing these days, all the more reason to praise Mauro Iván Ojeda's The Undertakers’s home as a major find.

    Fantasia 2020 : Special actors, Canadian Premiere

    Shinichiro Ueda (of instant cult classic and Fantasia Audience Award winner One cut of the dead) is back with his highly anticipated follow-up, Sepcial Actors! Doubling down on the meta-antics of his previous zom-com (which took us behind the scene of an elaborate, single-take zombie film… and subsequent “real” zombie outbreak), this latest film ups the ante, and turns the entire world into a stage.
