The Fantastic Organization, a newly established nonprofit in France, made its debut at the Cannes Film Festival, aiming to enhance the global presence of fantastic cinema. Under the leadership of filmmaker Xavier Gens, known for his works like 'Frontière(s)', the organization is committed to supporting the creation, production, and distribution of artistic works within the fantastic genre. Other founding members include notable figures such as Brontis Jodorowsky and Pablo Guisa Koestinger, who also serves as the executive director of the Fantastic Pavilion at the Marché du Film.

The organization’s mission is ambitious: to ensure access to fantastic works for a broad audience while nurturing the next generation of filmmakers through training and educational initiatives. Gens expressed his passion for genre cinema, stating it is an international language that embodies deep emotions. The organization also aims to foster cooperation among festivals and cultural institutions across Europe, promoting diversity and inclusion within the genre. With its base in Paris, the Fantastic Organization operates as an independent body dedicated to the global fantastic film community.
