FANTASIA 2013—Extensive Artist Talks with Bryan Singer and Simon Boswell

The Fantasia International Film Festival (Fantasia) will once again offer audiences the opportunity to participate in illuminating artist talks, expositions, and panels, with a chief highlight being "Rated X—A Night with Bryan Singer"! Fantasia audiences will see the gifted filmmaker behind the X-Men films (2000-2014), Public Access (1993), The Usual Suspects (1995), Apt Pupil (1998), Superman Returns (2006), Valkyrie (2008), and Jack the Giant Slayer (2013), sit down for an extensive hour-long discussion with moderator Tony Timpone and the audience, in a special evening of superbeings, superstars, and one superfilmmaker.

"Simon Boswell: A Talk on Film Scoring" brings the brilliant UK composer to the stage with moderator Chris Alexander for a career-spanning talk about his adventures in film scoring for some of genre cinema's most individualistic filmmaking talents, including Alejandro Jodorowsky, Alex de la Iglesia, Dario Argento, Danny Boyle, Michele Soavi, Richard Stanley, Clive Barker, and Lamberto Bava.
