Blink of an Eye: Short Film Programme 2
SCI-FI-LONDON is committed to presenting short films as a part of the festival line-up.
Each year we put a call out 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 think we've put together a wonderfully eclectic mix of fantastic film for this festival.
