It took only one edition to the Paris International Fantastic Film Festival to win recognition as a cinephile must-go in Europe.

Continuing along this stimulating success (4,600 members of the audience during the five-day event), the team from the Paris Cinema Fantastique settles down again at the Gaumont Opéra Capucines for the 2012 edition with TITANIC ambitions!

From next November 16 to 25, horror-fantasy movie lovers will revel in an avant-garde, dense and surprisingly programming, mixing future classics and cult films of the past.
