A SCI-FI-LONDON policy is that every feature film is presented with at least one short film, even World Premieres (Ken Russell's THE FALL OF THE LOUSE OF USHER, Japanese animation MALICE DOLL and Phil Leirness' SPECTRES) at the festival are screened with a short film.
In 2003 we introduced our Audience Award and there will be
new awards introduced in 2005. There was no Audience Award for best feature
in 2004 due to the way the timetable ran, a vote would simply have not been fair.
However there was an amazing response to the short films in the Mini-Cine and
ANNIE & BOO was the clear winner of audience choice for Best
Short.
We screen all the short films together at the festival and run a continous programme
of shorts in the Curzon Bar. The Mini-Cine in
the bar area is free and runs for the duration of the festival. The audience are
able to request a film in the Mini-Cine and vote on their favourite.
In our first year we had some fantastic short films submitted. The "best
short film" award was given to BAFTA nominated INFERNO directed
by Paul Kousalides and starring Nitin Ganatra, Sanjeev Bashkar and Emily Booth.
Year two we gave the Best short to a fantastic animation called TOWN OF
THE ONE-HANDED by Heli Ellis and the audience voted
for THE CAT WITH NO HANDS by Robert Morgan as
best short.
Year three saw an excellent short called CHAINGANGS by Scott Mann take SCI-FI-LONDON's Best Short. This film was made in 48 hours as part of a competition held in 2003. The audience vote went to ANNIE & BOO by Johannes Weiland. This is an amazing final year piece by German animator Weiland, watch out for him!
FEATURES:
We want your movies!!! - It is tough sometimes to convince the big distributors
to put a movie in to a festival, especially when they see it as genre and maybe
a bit "geeky". Well, if we are geeks, we are proud :) - But we
do have a great festival and a good crowd. They are intelligent and have
great taste in movies... maybe that's what some film makers are afraid of? a bad
reception??
Rest assured Mr Big Studio, a screening at SCI-FI-LONDON will get you one of the most honest reactions from a paying audience. And for all you independents... we are a great place to showcase your film. Over our short history we have screened many films that have been picked up for theatrical and DVD releases: Avalon, Versus, Wild Zero, American Astronaut, Cube 2 and Stranded.
For studio feature film and documentary submissions you can download the form or contact Louis or Tony directly.
