Fantaspoa Announces First Sixteen Titles of its Sixteenth Edition: "18 June 2020 // Porto Alegre, Brazil – Fantaspoa Fantastic Film Festival is proud to announce that, due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, its sixteenth edition will be held online and completely free of charge. The bold move is courtesy of an unprecedented partnership with Darkflix, a Brazilian video streaming service aimed at fantastic genre productions.

Originally scheduled to take place as a live event in May of 2020, the sixteenth edition of Fantaspoa had been postponed because of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. Due to a worsening of the virus in Brazil and a sharp increase in COVID-related deaths there, festival organizers have ultimately decided that a live festival in 2020 would not be possible and have chosen to migrate to a virtual edition.

Scheduled to begin on July 24th and run until August 2th, 2020, the sixteenth edition of Fantaspoa will turn Darkflix into center stage for several Latin American Premieres. The festival program will feature more than 110 shorts and feature films from more than 35 countries. Each title will have a cap of 5,000 views, and all will be geo-blocked to Brazilian viewers.

In addition, interactive Q&As will accompany several livestreamed films, and the festival will host digital versions of its popular lectures and masterclasses – all of which will be available for free to genre fans around the world. Between its free films for Brazilian audiences and free events accessible to all, Fantaspoa now proudly hosts the largest online initiative of any film event in Latin America – and hopes that its attempts to combat social isolation through digital gatherings will be seen as a small but valiant way to help fight this unprecedented pandemic.

OPENING FILM, CLOSING FILM, AND SPECIAL ACHIEVEMENT AWARD

The opening film of Fantaspoa’s sixteenth edition will be Keola Racela's PORNO, a charming mix of humor and horror that will celebrate its Latin American premiere at Fantaspoa after wowing audiences at SXSW, Fantasia, Sitges, and FrightFest.

The closing films of the festival’s sixteenth edition will be dual co-productions of Fantaspoa Productions: SKULL: THE MASK and THE PANDEMIC ANTHOLOGY, both of which recently World Premiered at the Chattanooga Film Festival. The long-awaited sophomore film from Armando Fonseca and Kapel Furman, SKULL was hailed by audiences and critics in its recent debut. The film follows a supernatural serial killer out for revenge, and fueled by an otherworldly pre-Columbian power. Also very well-received out of Chattanooga, THE PANDEMIC ANTHOLOGY brings together thirteen stories about the COVID-19 pandemic, shot entirely while in quarantine, making the dark anthology a surprising portrait of this unique moment.

The sixteenth edition of Fantaspoa proudly celebrates Ugandan filmmaker Isaac Godfrey Geoffrey Nabwana – also known as IGG Nabwana – and his company, Wakaliwood, with its annual Special Achievement Award. Deeply passionate about cinema, IGG learned the art of filmmaking by watching tutorials on the internet and has directed over forty action movies within the past fifteen years. All of his films are produced in the Ugandan slum where he lives, with minimal budgets, small staff, and tons of creativity. Acclaimed worldwide, Nabwana is considered a unique artist with a true signature to his works, having built his own studio, generated jobs, and formed a film community and rabid audiences in a place with no filmmaking tradition. At the sixteenth edition of Fantaspoa, festival audiences will have the unique opportunity to watch Nabwana’s CRAZY WORLD, which received a standing ovation at 2019’s Toronto International Film Festival.

ADDITIONAL TITLES ANNOUNCED

Ibero-American Section

The festival will present the already-acclaimed Argentinian films TO KILL A DRAGON and ROCK, PAPER, SCISSORS, in addition to the recently-premiered TOXIC. A horror thriller about a girl who returns to a village two decades after being reported missing, TO KILL A DRAGON is the third feature from Jimena Monteoliva, whose talent is already known by Fantaspoa audiences. ROCK, PAPER, SCISSORS will celebrate its Brazilian Premiere at Fantasia after having been praised and awarded at festivals worldwide. This dark tale about three brothers who claim their father's inheritance was directed by Martín Blousson and Macarena García Lenzi. TOXIC, Ariel Martínez Herrera's debut feature, seems more urgent than ever, as it focuses on a couple trying to survive in a world plagued by a pandemic of insomnia. Also in the Ibero-American selection, DIABLO ROJO PTY will have its Brazilian Premiere at Fantaspoa. Directed by Sol Charlotte and J. Oskura Nájera, it is the first horror feature film made in Panama, and tells the story of a bus driver who is the victim of a mysterious spell.

International Competition

These first eight international titles showcase the continuing diversity of Fantaspoa's sensational programming.

Selections include ENTWINEDSTRANGERGHOST MASTERJAMES VS. HIS FUTURE SELFLIMBO, and RESIN, all of which have all previously screened – however GHOST MASTER has only played in Latin America. These sensational, acclaimed titles have screened everywhere from TIFF and Göteborg to Sitges.

A co-production by Greece and the United Kingdom, ENTWINED tells the story of a doctor who inexplicably finds himself enchanted by a mysterious girl from a remote village. The feature earned Minos Nikolakakis the top prize in Greek cinema - the Hellenic Film Academy Awards – for best debuting director. The science fiction genre will be represented by the Ukrainian STRANGER, about an inspector who works a case about sinister disappearances, and Canada’s JAMES VS. HIS FUTURE SELF, a comedy about one of humanity’s greatest fantasies: time travel. GHOST MASTER, from Japan, is a mix of horror and comedy heavily influenced by manga and was awarded as best film at Fantasporto 2020. Germany’s LIMBO and the Danish RESIN are thrillers – the first telling the story of an executive who discovers a dangerous money laundering network, and the second taking place in an isolated forest, where a teenager who lives with her parents begins to question her family's isolated way of living.

South Africa’s psychedelic FRIED BARRY – about a drug addict who is abducted by aliens – will celebrate its Latin American Premiere at Fantaspoa. The festival’s Brazilian audience will also have the privilege of being the first audience in the world to experience South Korea’s SALVATION, reassuring Fantaspoa’s continued relevance within the festival circuit. A cop thriller, the film tells the saga of a special agent who ends up in a mysterious retreat that worships a goddess in the body of a child.

CULT OF DRACULA: "Second Sight Studios is thrilled to announce that it has secured the rights to publish Cult of Dracula! This unique re-imagining of Bram Stoker’s classic tale of terror is adapted from the award winning stage play by creator Rich Davis. Second Sight Studios publisher Bradley Golden says that, “Cult of Dracula is the perfect vehicle to launch our Second Sight Presents line of horror comics.” 

“As a child, two things absolutely terrified me: Count Dracula and Charles Manson. With Cult of Dracula I follow Stephen King’s advice to ‘write what scares you’ by bringing these two nightmares together.” says creator Rich Davis. 

Cult of Dracula begins with the grounded sensibilities of a true crime detective story. Special Agent Malcolm Bram is investigating a tragic event dubbed by the media as the “Cult of Dracula Mass Suicides”. Bram’s investigation serves as a framing device to keep readers grounded as they tumble down the rabbit hole to discover that this weird little cult is much older and much darker than perhaps anyone could imagine. 

Bram is an original character, a nod to Dracula author Bram Stoker. The remaining cast are re-imaginings from the original novel. Abraham Van Helsing, as an example, is a defrocked Eastern Orthodox priest turned college professor. Together with grad students Mina Murray and Jonathan Harker he forms a documentary crew working on a film about Robert Renfield, the cult’s enigmatic guru and leader. 

The most fun aspect of writing Cult of Dracula, according to Davis, was exploring the various vampire myths from so many different world cultures. “As I was researching, I kept coming across this one common thread. La Llorona, Babaroga, Lamashtu, Lamia, Lilith...every culture has a story about a dark woman who steals children to devour their blood...that was Lucy in Bram Stoker’s Dracula. I wanted to explore how those might all come together.”, he said. 

Cult of Dracula has an amazing creative team of industry veterans behind it. Henry Martinez (Ghost Rider/Spirits of Vengeance/Blaze) does pencils and inks. Trevor Richardson (Fangoria) is our colorist. Ed Dukeshire handles our letters. Carla Cohen (The Boys: Dear Becky), Gyula Nemeth (Criminal Macabre) Sanford Greene (Bitter Root) and Georges Jeanty (Buffy/Firefly/X-Men) are on covers. 

Cult of Dracula is available now for pre-order through corner-box.com. It will be on shelves at your local comic book shop this Fall! "

Author Max Brooks To Discuss Horror Novel ‘Devolution,’ At Wizard World Virtual Experiences Saturday; Free Video Q&A Streamed Live On Twitch, YouTube, Facebook Precedes Bookplate Signing July 11: "Max Brooks, #1 New York Times bestselling author of World War Z, will conduct a live virtual Q&A with fans discussing his new book Devolution: A Firsthand Account of the Rainier Sasquatch Massacre, published by Del Rey Books, on Saturday, June 20, at 1 p.m. ET / 10 a.m. PT, as part of Wizard World Virtual Experiences, presented by Wizard Entertainment, Inc. (OTCBB:WIZD). Fans can tune in via Twitch (https://www.twitch.tv/wizardworldvirtual) YouTube (https://www.youtube.com/wizardworld) and Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/wizardworld/) and can participate in live chats on all three platforms, with a selection of the questions used during the live session.

The Q&A is a precursor to Brooks’s virtual book signing, also on Wizard World Virtual Experiences platforms, on Saturday, July 11, at 1 p.m. ET / 10 a.m. PT, during which fans can chat with Max as he signs their personalized bookplate, suitable for inclusion in Devolution or any of Max’s other works. Purchase of Devolution through Wizard World Virtual Experiences (http://www.wizardworldvirtual.com) is required to participate in the bookplate signing/video session.

This marks the first Virtual Book Signing added to the Wizard World Virtual Experiences series. Fans should check www.wizardworldvirtual.com for additions to the programming schedule.

Part survival narrative, part bloody horror tale, part scientific journey into the boundaries between truth and fiction, Devolution is a Bigfoot story as only Max Brooks could chronicle it—and like none you’ve ever read before.

As a best-selling author, Brooks (https://www.maxbrooks.com/) is credited with helping propel zombie-lore from niche sub-culture fascination to mainstream pop-culture obsession. While Brooks has published three massively successful zombie-themed books—The Zombie Survival Guide, World War Z, and The Zombie Survival Guide: Recorded Attacks (all of which are now considered the definitive tomes for the genre)—Brooks’ ultimate goal was to challenge old ways of thinking and encourage mental agility and flexibility for problem solvers and leaders. Brooks’ unique, unconventional thinking depicted in his books has even inspired the U.S. military to examine how they may respond to potential crises in the future. World War Z was read and discussed by the sitting Chairman of the Joint Chiefs and Brooks has been invited to speak at a variety of military engagements—from the Naval War College, to the FEMA hurricane drill at San Antonio, to the nuclear "Vibrant Response" wargame.

Pricing varies by item for the individual chat, video and autographs, available on the Website.

THE OAK ROOM Trailer: "Black Fawn Films and Breakthrough Entertainment Inc., the filmmaking team behind such genre hits as I’ll Take Your Dead, Let Her Out, and Antisocial, have released the official trailer and poster for their newest collaboration, The Oak Room, a dark thriller set in a remote and winter-ravaged Canadian town. The film stars actors RJ Mitte (Breaking Bad), Peter Outerbridge (Suicide Squad, V-Wars) and Ari Millen (Orphan Black, I’ll Take Your Dead).

The official trailer for The Oak Room is available here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PDcB1L0-6cI&t=

The thriller sees RJ Mitte in the lead role opposite character actor Peter Outerbridge and rising star Ari Millen. “It was an amazing experience working with Cody and the Black Fawn team to tell the unique and surreal story in The Oak Room,” states Mitte. “From the cast to the crew in Canada, where we filmed this, it was such a great group to work with. I’m so excited for this project to come out!”

The Oak Room marks another ambitious and exciting departure for Black Fawn Films. The character-driven and dramatic thriller blends the rural isolatation of “No Country For Old Men” with the small town, gothic claustrophobia of “Frailty.” Director Cody Calahan teamed up with writer Peter Genoway to adapt Genoway’s stage play The Oak Room into the feature-length film. The original stage production took home first-place honors at the Toronto Fringe Festival in the prestigious “New Play Contest” category while also being selected as a Patron’s Pick (Theatre Passe Muraille’s top box office earner).

The Oak Room became more and more of a personal project for me after each step of development,” explains Calahan. “My son was born right before we went to camera and a lot of the stories in the film revolve around the relationships that exist between fathers and sons. At each stage of the process, I found myself reflecting on what the mystery of this story truly meant to me. I’m excited to see how it will connect with different audiences out there and what people will take away from it.”

Breakthrough Entertainment Inc. and Black Fawn Films will be bringing The Oak Room to Cannes’ upcoming virtual film market “Marche du Film” where first viewings of the film will be taking place on Tuesday, June 23, 2020.

“We’re really excited to bring this riveting, northern gothic thriller to market,” states Breakthrough Entertainment’s Vice President of Distribution Craig McGillivray. “The Oak Room features some truly amazing performances from RJ Mitte, Peter Outerbridge, and Nicholas Campbell. This film is the type of story that will have audiences on the edge of their seats and instantly wanting to re-watch it.”

Synopsis
During a raging snowstorm, a drifter returns home to the blue-collar bar located in the remote Canadian town where he was born. When he offers to settle an old debt with a grizzled bartender by telling him a story, the night’s events quickly spin into a dark tale of mistaken identities, double crosses and shocking violence. 

Cast and Crew
The Oak Room stars; RJ Mitte (Breaking Bad), Peter Outerbridge (Suicide Squad, V-Wars), Ari Millen (Orphan Black, I’ll Take Your Dead, Darken), Martin Roach (The Shape of Water, Diary of the Dead, The Expanse), Nicholas Campbell (Black Mirror, Antiviral, Da Vinci's Inquest), David Ferry (The Boondock SaintsLegion, Hell on Wheels) and Amos Crawley (The Virgin Suicides, Private Eyes).

Chad Archibald, Cody Calahan, and Ari Millen produced the film, with cinematography by Jeff Maher who also co-produced the project. Christopher Giroux acted as associate producer on the film while Ira Levy, Nat Abraham, Michael McGuigan, and Mark Myers are executive producers. The Oak Room was made with the support of partnerships with William F. Whites, Panavision Canada, and Redlab."
