Dell Lounge | Spotlight | Fantastic Fest

Last September at the Alamo Drafthouse Cinema in Austin, TX, Fantastic Fest took over the screens. Film fanatics swooped down on the genre showcases and upcoming theatrical highlights like some ravenous venue of movie-loving vultures. With so much to see in just a week, it’s no wonder VIP badges for ’08 are already sold out.

Horror flicks with gruesome zombie attacks. Kung fu movies about honor and revenge. Sci-fi epics set in dystopian futureworlds. That’s what Fantastic Fest 2007 was all about: Great genre films and the visionary directors who lovingly brought them to life.

	George A. Romero He’s made pulses race since the 60s with cult classics like “Night of the Living Dead.” Romero screened “Diary of the Dead” to kick things off.
	Adam Green The young maverick showed “Spiral” at Fantastic Fest. Ever since his debut, “Hatchet,” this director has been in demand at film festivals across the country.
	Richard Kelly With Kelly’s films, it takes multiple viewings for everything to sink in. The mastermind behind “Donnie Darko” brought “Southland Tales” to the Fest.

Interviews with legends, innovators and other bits of footage.
