| We Are Zombies Photo: Fantasia International Film Festival |
The final section of the line-up for the this year's Fantasia International Film Festival was announced today, along with the news that the RKSS Collective's Quebecois ode to the 'living-impaired', We Are Zombies, will have the honour of being the festival's closing film. Based on the popular comic The Zombies That Ate The World, it was created by François Simard, Anouk Whissell and Yoann-Karl Whissell, the team behind cult hit Turbo Kid, and is set in a world where zombies have no desire to eat brains but simply wander the streets aimlessly.
The festival also announced that this year's Cheval Noir Career Achievement Award is to be presented to Nicolas Cage in recognition of his more that four decades spent creating unique and memorable characters, often in genre films.
Further additions to the line-up include Irish comedy Apocalypse Clown, manga adaptation Sand Land, and Jeremy Coon and Steve Kozak’s documentary A Disturbance In The Force, which explores the true story behind the notoriously terrible Star Wars Holiday Special. There will also be a chance to see the sequel to Yugo Sakamoto's Baby Assassins, along with Mike Cheslik's incomparable man versus nature tale Hundreds Of Beavers.
The festival runs from 13 July to 2 August.
