Late breaking information (very late!)... Sorry, but we didn't even know about Fantasiafest 1999 in Montreal until it was already over. Here's a brief re-cap from OTH Man-in-the-field Reporter (sounds cool doesn't it?), Terence Chiu:

"Basically, they show movies made in Hong Kong, Japan, Korea and other films from all around the world. The atmosphere is great, most people who go are movie buffs who know that those films are crap at best."

We've got Terence's entire recap of the event available for perusal. Thanks, Terence!
