SCI-FI-LONDON is committed to the short form movie. Over the last couple of years we have screened some fantastic films, including the wonderful animation town of the one handed, Academy nominated Fifty Percent Grey and Bafta winner Inferno ­ shows we got good taste.

Each short film gets played with a feature at the festival and throughout the festival you can see the shorts in the Curzon SOHO's MINI-CINE.  Thanks to everyone who submitted to this year's festival.
