TESTIMONIES

Frontières has quickly grown to be one of the most significant events driving high level talent forward in the genre world. It has created a genuine community amongst its participants and I've been proud to take part, finding every event not only informative and productive but also a breeding ground for new and future relationships

Todd Brown , XYZ Films, Canada-USA

The Frontières Market is one of the major ways that Fantasia International Film Festival has been setting itself apart from the dozens of other genre-focused film festivals that keep popping up around the world. Begun in 2012, Frontières aims to be like the Sundance Institute, but for artists who prefer horror and action pictures to muted family dramas and quirky comedies.
