On July 18th ans 21st, The Killer (Le Tueur) could be seen by the Fantasia Audience. Screening twice in the J.A. DeSève Theatre, the film enjoyed sold-out rooms both times.


Grégoire Colin, the actor playing Dimitri Kopas (aka the killer) was present at both screenings to introduce the films and answer questions from the crowd afterwards. We would particularly like to thank Simon Laperrière, programmer at the Fantasia Festival, who added Le Tueur to the Fantasia line-up.

The screenings of Le Tueur were preceded with the screening of the excellent Hungarian short With a Little Patience, a breathtaking 14-minutes long sustained shot. That film actually just won the Best Live-action Short Prize, ex-aequo with I Love Sarah Jane, from Fantasia’s International Short Films Official Jury.
