About FanTasia

• Since 1996, FanTasia has been showing the most
  exciting, innovative and individualistic examples
  of contemporary international genre cinema,
  unveiling films very rarely seen in North America
• FanTasia was the first non-Asian festival to
  introduce audiences to the anarchistic inventions
  of Takashi Miike
• "Our 1999 International Premiere of Hideo
  Nakata's RING (RINGU) led directly to the film
  being acquired by DreamWorks, both for their 2002
  remake as well as North American distribution of
  Nakata's original instant-classic"
• While mainly a Fantasy / Action / Horror
  festival, FanTasia always opened its arms to
  eclectic films whose individuality puts them in a
  genre of their own.

• We refuse to take submission fees encourage
  filmmakers of all backgrounds, interests and
  obsessions to submit their work.

Takashi Miike

• D.O.B August 24th, 1960
• Place Osaka, Japan
• One of the very few Japanese directors whose name
  is well known among western cinema-goers
• Movies he directed such as Dead or Alive, Visitor
  Q and Fudoh The New Generation made western
  audiences aware that Miike is something special
• Quote I want to shoot violent scenes, but not
  action scenes. The blood and pain makes it more
  real to the audience. Hollywood can make nice,
  violent movies, but I can't. In my films, people
  are like monsters or beasts. Their violence is
  extreme but at least honest."
