Fantaspoa – Fantastic Film Festival in Brazil

So, here’s the deal… most of us here in the States are probably gonna miss this one, for for those in Latin America, or those planning a trip to Brazil and/or the surrounding area, this is one genre festival you may want to work into your schedule. The line-up of films is pretty awesome and the festival looks to be welcoming some major special guests as well…

In its six years of existence, Fantaspoa has grown to become the biggest genre festival in Latin America. In 2010 we are going to receive 11 foreign directors to present their films and do a Q&A afterwards.

Our program for this year is divided among 5 different main sections:

• Short Films – 64 short films, from 19 countries
• Luigi Cozzi Homage – 15 films directed or written by Luigi Cozzi
• Documentary section – 8 feature documentaries, from 5 countries
• Fantastic Animated World – 9 feature animated films, from 5 countries
• Main Competition – 37 features films, from 21 countries.

It’s the most diverse program ever exhibited in a genre festival in Latin America and more than 60% of this selection will be premièring in Latin America at Fantaspoa.
