RECON 2023 is part of the Official Selection of the Fantasia Film Festival, right after its presentation at the Sci-Fi London Film Festival and its upcoming presentation at the Sitges International Film Festival in Spain.
From the Fantasia Program:
"Fantasia audiences who have followed the RECON series throughout the years won’t want to miss this new episode for the world. Director Christian Viel reunites with his usual crew, including John “Arrow in the Head” Fallon, who wrote the script and plays the vicious cyber-merc onscreen. He also reconnects with his audience by giving them exactly what they want—action sequences choreographed by a local genre specialist, one of which is rather stunning in its direct reference to Coppola’s APOCALYPSE NOW. In Quebec, Christian Viel is definitely an example for independent filmmakers to follow. Without government financing, he still manages to produce science fiction films as entertaining as their Hollywood counterparts, and which have found success abroad. Watching his new film, one can’t help but wonder what Viel could do with a TRANSFORMERS-calibre budget, seeing how RECON 2023: THE GAUDA PRIME CONSPIRACY overflows with talent!"
