On Tuesday, we posted the first wave of films that were revealed to be playing at the 2017 annual Fantasia Film Festival, which takes place from July 13th through August 2nd in Montreal.
Today the festival has announced its second wave of horror films that will appear in the Frontières Market as well as a new initiative focused on female-driven early development projects, the Directed by Women Pitch & Networking Session. The Market takes place prior to the Festival, from July 20th through 23rd.
Frontières connects North America with Europe in an environment specifically focused on genre film co-production and financing. Now a multi-platform initiative in partnership with the Marché du Film – Festival de Cannes, this year Frontières has expanded its programming to provide in-depth networking and development opportunities for projects at various stages of development.
