SCI-FI-LONDON is committed to presenting short films as a part of the festival line-up. Each year we put out a call for short film
and each year we receive hundreds of amazing stories from around the world.

It is always a difficult task to select which films to bring you, so many of them are exceptional. However, we hope we have
brought together a great and eclectic mix of fantastic film for our 6th festival.
