Fantasia has announced its third and final wave of programming for the upcoming 26th edition, and it's a doozy! This year's closing night film will be July Jung’s Next Sohee fresh outta' Cannes Critics' Week. Closing night will also include a special screening of A24's Bodies Bodies Bodies. Pierre David will be honored with the Prix Denis-Héroux award, celebrating his invaluable contributions to the horror genre as a producer for filmmakers like David Cronenberg. Rounding out this third and climactic wave will be Michel Hazanavicius's viciously funny Final Cut, Denis Cote's intimate and transgressive That Kind of Summer, and the powerful adaptation of the classic web manga My Broken Mariko.
