Tune in tonight around 7:55pm CST/5:55pm PST to watch a Live Stream of the Q&A with Rick Baker which will follow Fantastic Fest’s 30th Anniversary Screening of AN AMERICAN WEREWOLF IN LONDON.
This is the John Landis classic, considered by many to be one of the best werewolf flicks, and the crowning jewel of Rick Baker’s incredible special FX makeup career. There is an additional screening of the film on 9/28 at 12:30pm that is without charge for badge holders.
So, here’s the deal… most of us here in the States are probably gonna miss this one, for for those in Latin America, or those planning a trip to Brazil and/or the surrounding area, this is one genre festival you may want to work into your schedule. The line-up of films is pretty awesome and the festival looks to be welcoming some major special guests as well…
In its six years of existence, Fantaspoa has grown to become the biggest genre festival in Latin America. In 2010 we are going to receive 11 foreign directors to present their films and do a Q&A afterwards.
Our program for this year is divided among 5 different main sections:

It’s the most diverse program ever exhibited in a genre festival in Latin America and more than 60% of this selection will be premièring in Latin America at Fantaspoa.
