The Fantasia International Film Festivals 17th edition will take place in the heart of Montreal from July 18 to August 6, 2013. The 2013 edition of Fantasia will be returning to the theatre in which it was born – The Imperial Cinema (Centre Sandra & Leo Kolber, Salle Lucie et André Chagnon), a place called home for the fest in its first six years, from 1996 to 2001. Today, an event poster was released, check it out inside.
From the press release:
To design our official 2013 poster, Fantasia organized a special winter 2012 contest where the public was invited to submit their concepts and sketches. The entire Fantasia team unanimously selected a concept submitted by local film critic and event organizer Michael Ryan. In a tragic twist of fate, Michael passed away this spring at the age of 46. His work as director of the Young Cuts Film Festival inspired many and his writing at Sound on Sight was always illuminating and a joy to read. His passing is a loss for all of us. To bring Michaels vision to life, long-time Fantasia illustrator Donald Caron worked his magic, delivering a striking final art jointly inspired by Greek Mythology (Icarus and Daedalus) and Quebec legend of the Cheval Noir (Black Horse), the latter of which has featured prominently in the festivals iconography over the two past editions. We dedicate our 2013 art to the memory of Michael Ryan.
