Fantasia, Montreal's annual international film festival, begins today, and to mark the start of the film-fest, Fantasia is throwing a party, and you're invited.

Tonight, starting at 8:30pm, Fantasia is gathering all the film-lovers of Montreal together for a massive terrace party at Bistro Le Cinq. Admission is completely free, anyone can come, and you may just see some famous folk in the party-mix.

A party isn't a party without music, and Fantasia is providing a slew of tunes, with a live band and 4 DJs performing during the night. Pair that up with the swanky elegance of Le Bistro Cinq's open-air terrace, and you got yourself quite the opening party.

Get all the details at the FB event page, and if you have no clue what the Fantasia Film Festival is, or want some film recommendations, we have some movie-suggestions for you.
