1 · Before
Start with an easy meal around Guy-Concordia and stay close to the screening venue.
2 · Travel
Most Fantasia venues are walkable from Guy-Concordia métro. Confirm the theatre named for your session.
3 · Arrival
The start time is not confirmed in this guide. Check it first, then keep about 30 minutes of buffer.

For a late screening, check the final métro before the film and keep the trip home direct.

☂ Rain fallback

This is already a strong rain-proof plan. Keep the meal and screening in the same area.
