‘Bloody and Messy’: Fantasia’s Frontières Market Readies for Exploding Heads, New Zealand Monster Movie and Dark Pro-Birth Future
Marta Balaga At Frontières Market and Forum, it’s all about the exploding heads. “Big, bloody and messy explosions of heads. Old-school style explosions à la ‘Scanners’,” enthuses director Olivier Godin, who will bring neo-noir comedy “Anna Will Talk to Us” to its official selection, about a book that literally blows people’s minds. The much-anticipated event, back for its 15th edition, is bound to satisfy the oddest of tastes, delivering the likes of “Animal Realm” – “Full on Wuxia. Total cyberpunk. Stop-motion animation in full action,” teases director Caochong Maing – or vampire story “Drawn” in which the bloodsuckers don’t actually drink blood.
