15th FanTasia International Film Festival, July 14-Aug 7

After last week's programming announcement, the 15th FanTasia International Film Festival kicks off tonight with a screening of Kevin Smith's controversial Sundance Film Festival hit Red State. Unlike most of his work, this film is not a comedy but a horror film about fundamentalist religion.

Other films screening tonight are King of Devil's Island, Chop and Detective Dee and the Mystery of the Phantom Flame.

The Fantasia Opening Night Party will provide entertainment by the bands Triggered Response and the Hypnophonics, DJs Mr. Black and Plastik Patrik, and visuals by TIND. It starts at 9pm at Club 1234, located at 1234 Rue de la Montagne at Sainte Catherine.
