Tijuana Bible
French filmmaker Jean-Charles Hue travels abroad for his long-awaited third feature Tijuana Bible. Philippe Braunstein and Axel Guyot (who also co-wrote) produced the film through Les Films d’Avalon, co-produced by Ad Vitam. English actor Paul Anderson stars alongside Mexico’s Adriana Paz and Noe Hernandez with Dp Jonathan Ricquebourg lenses. Hue’s 2011 debut The Lord’s Ride premiered in Rotterdam and his 2014 follow-up Eat Your Bones went to the Directors’ Fortnight in Cannes. Perhaps there is a tie-in with his Directors’ Fortnight preemed short Tijuana Tales (2017).

29 more days to go until Fantastic Fest 2011 takes over Austin Texas! I cannot wait. 17 more films were announced late last week. Only one of those 17 films was on our “Film Guestimation” list for Fantastic Fest 2011. They still have yet to announce Opening & Closing films along with other Gala screenings so hopefully we won’t look like total fools. All we need is maybe half of our films that we listed to show up. Anyway, beyond the break, you can check out what is playing.
Apparently, more films will be announced this week. We will try to get those out as soon as we hear about it.
Events & Contests
100 Best Kills
One of the greatest long-running traditions of Fantastic Fest is the 100 Best Kills Party, where we sit in a theater together and turn the spotlight on the Grim Reaper of movieland as he disembowels, detonates and decapitates again and again and again.

Official Us Poster For Lars von Trier’s ‘Melancholia’; VOD Debut In October After Fantastic Fest Bow
