This will mark the second time that a work from the esteemed British filmmaker has opened Fantasia, The Descent having been the festival’s official Opening Film in 2005.
The sole other filmmaker Fantasia has done this with to date is Takashi Miike.
Mexican feature A Costume for Nicholas, directed by Eduardo Rivero, is a wild and colourful fantasy adventure with a special point to make.
A vivid, compelling and confrontational film whose themes are frighteningly pertinent to today’s concerns, it will knock the wind out of you.
