Genre is in ascension, and Fantasia’s Frontières and the Toronto Festival’s TIFF: The Market are making sure Canadian filmmakers can reach for the top this fall.
Frontières, the international genre co-production market organized by Montreal’s Fantasia Film Festival, is teaming up with TIFF: The Market to crack open a new genre market showcase at the event’s inaugural edition this September.
The showcase will spotlight three Canadian and two international titles at various stages of development. Accredited market attendees look set to get a first look at stories bubbling in the brains of some of the most exciting creators in contemporary genre filmmaking.
The call for submissions for the new showcase opens today (May 28) for titles in all genres sub-genres and stages of development.
“We’re thrilled to partner with Frontières on this dynamic new initiative,” said Charles Tremblay, head of TIFF: The Market. “One of our primary objectives with the Market is to create space for the wealth of exceptional Canadian talent and projects to garner global attention.
