The Festival international du film fantastique de Gérardmer, formerly known as Fantastica and then Fantastic'Arts, is an annual international film festival of horror and science fiction films.
History
[edit]The film festival has been held each year since 1994 in Gérardmer in the Vosges, France towards the end of January. It replaced an earlier film festival which was held in Avoriaz for 20 years, from 1973 until 1993.
Originally, the festival was called Fantastica, then Fantastic'Arts, to stress the artistic as well as the fantastique side of the festival. In 2008 the festival was renamed Festival international du film fantastique de Gérardmer.
Description
[edit]Each year, several celebrities form a jury to judge the competing films. Some also present their own work, including the writer Bernard Werber, who comes each year to Place du Tilleul at the centre of the town.
