It seems like just yesterday that the founding team was meeting and discussing Fantastic Fest as a vague notion that we would like to someday cobble together. We're now fairly well rooted in the festival world, but I hope to think that we are far from grown-up. We want to always be known as the festival that understands and caters to the inner twelve-year-old inside all of us. We hope that from September 24 through October 1, you let that little kid out and let him play in our decidedly unsafe playhouse. Karrie and I have been travelling the globe for the last eleven months scouring every international festival and market we could find looking for the very best and the very strangest films from all corners of the planet. Our season starts in November with the American Film Market in Los Angeles. We then head to Berlin for the European Film Market and to Cannes for the grand-daddy of all markets. We've visited the New York Asian Film Festival, Fantasia in Montreal and UK Frightfest in London, always on the prowl for the best nuggets to bring back to Austin in September. Meanwhile, the rest of the programming team: Harry Knowles (AICN), Todd Brown (Twitch), Blake Ethridge (Cinema is Dope), Rodney Perkins (Twitch), Marc Walkow (New York Asian Film Festival) and Eric Vespe (AICN) are hitting festivals and markets in Hong Kong, Italy, Tokyo and Toronto, researching the web, watching submissions, following up with sales agents and emailing producers and directors from all nationalities. Collectively we watched thousands of films this year and pared that list down to the 120 official selections: 70 features and 50 shorts from over 26 countries. We hope you like our selections! A new feature at Fantastic Fest is the Highball which opens exclusively for Fantastic Fest badgeholders on opening day of the festival. The Highball is the best diner/lounge this side of 1960 featuring eight lanes of bowling with rental by the hour; seven different themed karaoke rooms; four lanes of skeeball with ticketed prizes you won’t find anywhere else, and a ballroom event space set to host the best dance parties, live music, and karaoke nights that will leave you hoarse for days. We'll be at the Highball for the opening and closing night parties, a 3D Dance Party, the Fantastic Feud, a Michael Jackson dance party, and much more. The Highball opens daily at 4 PM, earlier on Saturday and Sunday and can also be used as a quiet retreat for bloggers, journalists and festival attendees to check email and post articles. We have joined forces with RealD this year to bring together an incredible slate of 3D films, entertainment and education. First off, we are hosting a sneak-preview of TOY STORY 1 and 2 in 3D. The Alamo South Lamar has very recently been equipped with Sony 4K digital projection and RealD 3D lenses, just in time for the festivities. We are also getting a sneak peak at scenes from James Cameron's upcoming AVATAR.
