Fantastic Fest turns 20 this year and the genre festival is the best, so we’re celebrating! A film festival is only as strong as the people who make it possible and today, for the 20 years of Fantastic Fest women, we’re celebrating Annick Mahnert and Ahbra Perry!
Mahnert is the head of programming for Fantastic Fest and Perry is the programmer for Burnt Ends. Burnt Ends is a “virtual showcase of outlier and outsider media that intersect definitions of genre, avant-garde, and trash art, while shattering all traditional borders of taste and convention.” The two celebrated their work at Fantastic Fest by…boxing each other? In one of Fantastic Fest’s best traditions and both Mahnert and Perry took to boxing one another.
