Fantastic Fest 2008

Estomago

The world is made of those who eat and those who get eaten. Raimundo Nonato finds an alternative way: he cooks. He cooks first in a bar, then in an Italian restaurant and then in prison...but how did he get there? ESTOMAGO, an adult fable on power, sex and cooking premiered at the Rio de Janiero Film Festival where it took best actor, best director and the audience award. Our filmmaker guests will be treated to a multi-course Brazilian feast at a special intimate outdoor screening of Estomago.

We've been on the hunt since last October, scouring the globe for the best of the best in crazy-beautiful cinema. Now that Fantastic Fest is a mere 3 months away, we are plotting to release details on the first wave of content in this year's festival. We have LOTS more special events, premieres and surprises that we will be trickling out roughly once a month until the festival. We'll be launching the newly revamped website and activating the BSide community all at the same time, so mark your calendars, July 13 by noon CST we'll be offering up the first glimpse of the Fantastic Fest 2009 toybox!
