Full line-up announced for Fantasporto 2007
21st Jan 07
 The full 2007 line-up for Fantasporto, ("Europe's best horror / fantasy film festival" - Jay Slater), has just been announced and there are some cracking films lined up, including some great UK movies such as Chris Smith's Severance, Billy O'Brien's Isolation and Simon Rumley's amazing The Living and the Dead.
The festival takes place from February 19th until March 4th at Porto in Portugal, and as well as the above titles other films include The Beautiful Beast, The Horror Bus, The Bothersome Man and Taxidermia as well as a whole heap of other features and shorts from all over the world.
Now in it's 27th year, Fantasporto started as a haven for sci-fi and fantasy films and has since broadened its horizons with thrillers and most recently a New Directors competition. Although fantasy is still its trade mark, especially for the Portuguese press, it is recognized as the biggest film festival in Portugal and one of the most important in Europe.
Eatmybrains are currently saving up all our Euros and will hopefully be there to bring you all the news as it happens. Hope to see you there too...
