Fantasia is back. North America’s biggest Asian, action, kungfu, fantasy, horror and thriller film festival is back in Montreal for the fourth year.

The program’s not out yet, but past years have seen a mind-blowing collection of larger-than-life action and kung fu films.

This year, it’s expanding to two downtown theatres, the Imperial Cinema (Ste. Catherine and Bleury) and the Ex-Centris Complex (St. Laurent Blvd. just north of Sherbrooke). It runs from July 23 to Aug. 15. Info: (514) 847-1726. Their web site will be launched July 15 at ( www.fantasiafest.com ).
