Fantastic Fest came to a close late last night after numerous horror, science fiction, fantasy, action, Asian, and cult films were screened at the Alamo Drafthouse.
It culminated with an awards ceremony in Austin, TX to honor the best of the festival.
The press release from Fantastic Fest, including all the award winners, is embedded below:
Austin, TX— Monday, September 27, 2010— Fantastic Fest is excited to announce this year’s crop of Fantastic Fest titles includes some of the brightest and hardest-hitting films of all time. We’ve seen a psycho-kinetic tire, a secret ninja, a town invaded by 8-bit enemies, and a family of cannibals that you might consider going home with. It’s a terrible task to pick favorites and single out any of the magnificent films, but our esteemed team of jurors have done the nearly impossible and chosen the best and most striking films of the festival.
