Tartakovsky, Danny Elfman, Lloyd Kaufman, Sheila McCarthy and Anne-Marie Gélinas are all set to receive awards.
Of other bows, Ian Tuason’s feature bow “The Undertone” stars Nina Kiri (“The Handmaid’s Tale”) as a podcaster whose work and homes lives become terrifyingly connected; Chloé Cinq-Mars’ debut feature “Nesting” lays out the quiet horrors of a new mother’s sleep deprivation; Ryo Fujii’s “Taroman: Expo Explosion” is a retro-futuristic tokusatsu-style actioner; in Grégory Morin’s race-against-time thriller “Flush,” a middle-aged coke fiend tries to win back his ex; Dickson Leung Kwok-Fai lends a first-person-shooter perspective to his underdog actioner “Good Games.” Other world premieres revealed last month include Adilkhan Yerzhanov’s village-set folk horror “Kazakh Scary Tales,” Mickey Reece’s dark, Oklahoma-set conspiracy satire “Every Heavy thing” and Izabel Pakzad’s rising-star-studded first feature “Find Your Friends,” in which a wild girl trip turns into a hostile environment. Notable world premieres in Fantasia’s first wave line-up, announced in early May, include Steve Pink’s “Terrestrial,” Julie Pacino’s “I Live Here Now,” MacGyver Kenichi Ugana’s “I Fell in Love With a Z-Grade Director in Brooklyn,” Hubert Davis’ “The Well,” and Kurtis David Harder’s “Influencers.”
