Courtesy of Fantasia Festival It’s the 30th anniversary of Montreal’s storied Fantasia Festival, and the screenings at this year’s edition are sure to match the excitement of a milestone year. In addition to screening some of the year’s biggest festival hits, such as “Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma,” “Buddy” and “Her Private Hell,” there are plenty of brand-new visions set to be unleashed. Check out some of the world premieres and North American debuts we’re most excited for.

Sour Minnows

Image Credit: Courtesy of Fatasia Festival Harrison Atkins’ first feature was the strange and delightful “Lace Crater,” in which a woman got an STD from a ghost. His follow-up, “Sour Minnows,” seems certain to amp up the weird factor, as Ricky (David Brown) and Tepper (Chase Williamson) accidentally pierce a veil of reality and see six men licking a street. From there, things get extra-weird, including his relationship with Aura (Suzanna Son) and the pursuit of “The Yellow Thing,” which comfortably wears others’ skin. Only at Fantasia!
