All about the Fantasporto International Film Festival 2021
Fantasporto, which is also known as Fantas, is an international film festival. It is annually organized since 1981 in Porto, Portugal. It is giving screen space to fantasy/science fiction/horror-oriented commercial feature films, auteur films and experimental projects from all over the world; Fantasporto has now created enthusiastic audiences, ranging from cinephiles to more popular spectators, with an annual average of 110,000 attendees. In spite of being organized by a private entity, the event is mostly state funded, with the Ministry of Culture of Portugal leading and the President of the Republic as head of the Honour Committee in addition to several private sponsors. The news dates have came up now for the much awaited Fantasporto International Film Festival 2021.
With its
doors open to the World Fantasporto International Film Festival is now on its
way for its 41st edition wedged to its motto, “Fantas goes Global”. There
are three indicators through which its worldwide growth can be been seen
clearly in media. First, last year we received film submission from all
continents and 76 countries. Formerly in the same year, there were 43 world
premieres across the competitions. And the third point that shows the impact
and reorganization of Fantasporto abroad is that Porto welcomed roughly 200
film crew members – in 2020, 73% of films were screened in the presence of the
director and crew. As the film selection goes, it may be measured by the
applauses that heavily follow each presentation. Fantasporto has reached many
countries in very small time through world media. In 2021 as well Fantasporto
International Film Festival 2021 shall once again be a film celebration
bringing the name of Porto to every corner of the world.
The festival is very important for the critics
and the Portuguese market. Fantasporto has now developed as the Portuguese
festival. Authorities consider the Portuguese festival to be interesting and
diverse. The director of this festival Mario Dorminski is also a distributor
with good relations to Spanish broadcasters.
