Lights, Camera, Genre! Fantasy

Whether it’s dragons soaring through the skies, mysterious hidden realms beyond our own or heroes discovering their destiny, fantasy films invite us to imagine and revel in phantasmagoric alternate worlds. From epic quests and mythical adventures to dark fantasy and fairy tale retellings, the stories feature classic tropes such as the chosen one, powerful artefacts, wise mentors, and battles between good and evil. Join us as we uncover the creative magic that shapes these stories and why fantasy continues to captivate audiences with its boundless wonder and adventure.

Hosted by Alexander Sergeant, author, fantasy cinema expert and co-host of the Fantasy/Animation podcast.
