ANTISOCIAL, GRAVITY, SOULMATE Among La Samain Du Cinema Fantastique Winners
La Samain du Cinema Fantastique is becoming one of France's go-to genre film festivals, running over the Halloween weekend in the Southern city of Nice. With the festival's fourth edition now wrapped up, it's time to announce the winners of this year's awards. 

Familiar names litter the announcement. Alfonso Curan's Gravity took home a couple awards including the Grand Prix. Canadian social media-anchored horror flick Antisocial by Cody Calahan, and Axelle Carolyn's Soulmate won the writing honors. And H.P. Mendoza's I Am A Ghost took home Best Movie and Best Director. 

Read the press release for the full list of all the winners, including more Canadian stuff. Huzzah!
