The Circuit

Austin's Fantastic Fest will announce a bunch of "cool stuff" later this week, though the program for the third annual event is already impressive. Fantastic will run September 20-27 featuring the best in "new science-fiction, fantasy, horror, animation, crime, Asian, and all around badass cinema," all from the collective programming brain of SXSW's Matt Dentler, Harry Knowles, Tim League and Kier-La Janisse (The Alamo Drafthouse), Todd Brown (Twitch), and Tim McCanlies (screenwriter of "Iron Giant"). Recently, Dentler scored Alexandre Bustillo and Julien Maury's "Inside" (pictured) for Fantastic, about a very pregnant woman stalked by a deranged, aspiring mother with a knife. Check out the review here. "Inside" will also screen in Toronto's upcoming Midnight section. The Weinstein Company picked up the film in Berlin.  (Mike Jones)
