As Fantasia rings in its 15th anniversary, they are celebrating the founding fathers of Quebec’s genre cinema heritage — the legendary producing team of John Dunning and André Link a.k.a. the Roger Cormans of Canada. The duo regularly took risks supporting exciting new talent, kickstarting the careers of some of Canada’s greatest filmmakers such as David Cronenberg, Denys Arcand, Ivan Reitman, Denis Héroux, George Mihalka, Claude Jutra, Jean-Claude Lord, Don Cormody and Larry Kent, to name a few. Fantasia will be screening a ton of old Canuxploitation films for free throughout the fest, but there are also a number of promising Canadian features set to premiere. Below is a list of the three Canadian films I feel are most promising.
-
1- Beyond The Black Rainbow
Panos Cosmatos‘ debut, Beyond the Black Rainbow, is one of the must see films at this year’s Fantasia Film Festival.

I got a kick out of John Marrone's review for Beyond The Black Rainbow, because it's so incredibly descriptive and yet his e-mail to me summed it all up in a simple sentence: "'Black Rainbow' is unique, hypnotizing art... [it's] not for everyone by far, but it broke so many rules. I thought it was landmark." Panos Cosmatos' trippy vision premiered at the Tribeca Film Festival this past weekend and has been compared to Pink Floyd's The Wall and Stanley Kubrick's A Clockwork Orange. Marrone calls the film "a pure 100% pharmaceutical grade drip and makes it extremely clear that it's not going to be for everyone; in short, you're either going to Love it or Despise it (there's no in between). You can read his entire review by clicking the title above, inside you'll dig on the trailer.
