Our coverage of Fantaspoa 2021 continues, as we review
History of the Occult. And what a history it is! Weird, trippy, and lovely. I haven’t seen something quite like this before. Or at least, not in a long, long time. So join me as I discuss what makes this black-and-white, noir-inspired trip fun, exhilarating, and well worth a watch.
One of my favorite things about Fantaspoa and festivals like it, is the curatorial process inherent in each event. You can usually have an idea of what each festival’s program will be like. Our friends at Horrible Imaginings, for example, focus on showcasing a wide gamut of films, with emphasis on community building. Fantaspoa, on the other hand, is about pushing envelopes. It’s about doing a lot with not too much.
