Montreal's annual, massive festival of the best in the weird, wonderful and wild is looking for its next breakout.

Fantasia is an acclaimed and significant weeks-long celebration of the best in genre, and for many films, the starting point of further international distribution and wide recognition. With everything from studio world premieres, to repertory screenings and all the latest in world cinema, it's a fantastic place to get goin'.

Fantasia has announced its annual call for entries with the following message:

We're currently on the lookout for features and shorts to showcase at next summer's event, for our 17th edition. What exactly are we looking for? While predominantly a fantastic film festival, Fantasia has always embraced films whose sheer individuality puts them in a genre of their own. If you're not sure whether your film is right for us, consider that we've showcased everything from captivating dramas, eccentric comedies, provocative documentaries, mind-blowing experimental works, musicals, even atypical children's films. In other words, set our minds' eyes on fire and we'll do everything possible to get your film seen. Feel free to browse our 2012 website for a better understanding of our programming tastes.

Any work produced in the past 18 months is eligible for both our official jury competition and our Public's Prize.

Our entry fees are low, with no charges at all for Canadian productions of any length - and we encourage filmmakers and companies of all backgrounds, interests and obsessions to submit their work.

If you'd like to submit, learn how at Fantasia's official site.
