Saskatoon Fantastic celebrates the films of Lowell Dean
We can’t think of a better place than at our 15th Anniversary to celebrate the film of Saskatchewan writer and director Lowell Dean. To celebrate his career so far, we are pleased to screen three of his movies with introductions and q&a periods for each movie.
Saturday Morning All You Can Eat Cereal Cartoon Party - November 16th, 2024
This 3-hour trip into the weird and wonderful world of animated antics will be accompanied by an all-you-can-eat buffet of cereal that is open throughout the show (and yes, there will be soy options too!). The cartoon lineup is a complete secret (even to the festival team), but you’ll see both favourites and obscurities spanning the 60s, 70s and 80s, all punctuated with vintage commercials and PSAs! So, get ready for a sugar rush and an explosion of nostalgia all wrapped up in one candy-coated package.
Demolition Man - Drunken Cinema - November 22nd, 2024
Watch this 1993 film that is set in a “dystopian” USA, which has managed to be pretty dead-on with eerily accurate predictions about the future. Experience the mystery of the three seashells, Wesley Snipes’ “weird for even early 90’s standards” hair and wardrobe and how Taco Bell will eventually take over the world with a great crowd in an amazing theatre! There will be a custom pre-show, popcorn, trailers, props, and prizes to be given away!
