Fantasia Festival

July 17 – August 3, 2025

Since its inception in 1996, Fantasia has become a hugely popular Montreal summer tradition for around 100,000 festival-goers to spend 18 days being amazed by sensational celluloid from all over the world. Over the years, Fantasia has proven itself to be one of the largest and the most cutting edge festivals of its kind.

In the summer of 2025, the Fantasia International Film Festival will celebrate its 29th edition. Located in the heart of beautiful Montreal, Fantasia is a cultural and professional destination point, and since its first edition, the festival’s ever-growing popularity has attracted the attention of the international film industry alongside a legion of attendees from across the world. Every facet of the filmmaking chain is increasingly represented with in-person delegates at the festival: directors, actors, producers, studio representatives, distributors and festival programmers, who get to experience the legendarily enthusiastic, taste-making audience of Fantasia.
