Ithaca International Fantastic Film Festival Unveals Lineup!
The new kid in town is the Ithaca International Fantastic Film Festival in Ithaca, New York, during the third weekend in November (16, 17 and 18). The festival directors, Hugues Barbier and Alexis Walker unvealed their full lineup earlier this week.
We'll screen a total of 18 films over the weekend spread in different categories (International competition, Retrospective, Special screenings and opening closing nights)
We'll have in town for the jury Brian Yuzna (with a screening of a 35mm print of Society) and Brian Trenchard-Smith (We'll screen The Man from Hong Kong and Stunt Rock as part of our Ozploitation and Beyond retrospective)
