Anouk Whissell’s “Holi Womb,” Talal Selhami’s “The Shelter” and Hannes Baumgartner’s “Insect World” bid fair to prove standouts at Fantasia’s 2025 Frontières Co-Production Market, one of the world’s biggest, widest-ranging and highest caliber genre project platforms.
“Holi Womb” reps a potential first solo writer-director outing for Whissell who shot to fame as part of Canadian filmmaking trio RKSS, behind cult sci-fi hit “Turbo Kid.” Brother Yoann-Karl Whissell, another RKSS member, is stepping into the producer role for the first time.
