In Montreal, Quebec, a first-time visitor may well feel overwhelmed with what can be found here! Fortunately, my mission was to enjoy the Fantasia Film Festival, and to be transparent, I was doing remote coverage of this event. Had I truly been in this city, I’d be hitting up as many restaurants as possible! Instead, in what I feasted on were two films that played together to sate my appetite in other strange ways.
Buffet Infinity
Spoiler Alert
This movie played at the Fantasia Film Festival on July 28, 2025.
Buffet Infinity is a film that may feel overwhelming at first. That’s partly because it’s built almost entirely from the kind of late-night local commercials that once dominated community television. Watching it in a theatre replicates the hazy experience of channel surfing after midnight—when you can’t sleep and wind up watching whatever strange programming is still on. If I had to compare it to a favourite broadcast from the late 80s to 90s, it’s as zany and unpredictable as Friday Night Videos.

Just what kind of curves can be thrown at them depends on whether they can combine Ozzy with Pee Wee Herman, and anything else audiences can throw at them.
