The Fantasia International Film Festival has unveiled the official poster art for its upcoming 30th anniversary edition, set to take place in Montréal from July 16 through August 2, 2026.
Ahead of the festival’s first wave of programming announcements scheduled for May, organizers revealed the artwork created by Montréal-based visual artist Donald Caron. The new design marks Caron’s 17th poster created for the long-running genre festival.
The poster presents a colorful interpretation inspired by the Weird Sisters from Macbeth, the Three Fates from Greek mythology, and The Three Ages of Woman. The composition depicts three generations of sorceresses gathered around a cauldron, representing the three decades of the Fantasia festival.
Within the swirling mist rising from the cauldron, the festival’s iconic Cheval Noir emerges, a visual nod to Fantasia’s long-standing symbol and the award presented annually at the event.
The unveiling of the poster art signals the start of the lead-up to Fantasia’s milestone edition, with the festival preparing to announce its first slate of films and events in May. The festival will return to Montréal this summer to mark three decades of international genre cinema.
