Fantaspoa Starts This Week

The awesome Fantaspoa starts this week and we are blessed. 

One of the great festivals anywhere in the world it is a festival where you know that no matter what they are screening it's worth your time. The problem is that they program so many films you simply can't see them all....at least within the time of the festival without cloning yourself several times over.

I love this festival with all my heart. Everyone asks me why don't you travel to go to festivals like Toronto or Berlin or Cannes- and my answer is I can't go to those festivals until I go to Fantaspoa.  I have to go to this festival first because I know that when I get there I will be glad I saw every film I see. No film festival should be that good...but it is.

Trust me.

As this posts I am getting ready to wade into the films. I am not going to Porto Alegre, I couldn't get off from the day job, however I have been granted access to a bunch of the films so reviews  will be coming when the embargoes lift. So keep an eye on Unseen Films.

However because in addition to World Premiering tons of great films, they also run the best films from other festivals, as such  I can provide you with a head start on some of the great films playing. Here are links to reviews of 14 films I've previously reviewed.
