Fantastic Fest top brass have announced their work-in-progress selections and film previews for the second edition of the international genre co-production market, Fantastic Market | Mercado Fantastico.

The market runs from September 18-20 in Austin, Texas, concurrent with Fantastic Fest from September 18-25.

“These work-in-progress selections represent a broad range of styles and subject matter,” said market director Rodney Perkins. “Although the films are very different, they share one thing in common: they are all the result of an intense original vision that is completely in sync with the mission of Fantastic Market.”
