Sci-Fi London has announced the programme for its 17th annual festival, which is taking place across London between April 27th and May 6th, offering ten days of film, live music, immersive experiences and more.
This year’s festival showcases a fantastic lineup with 6 world film premieres, 13 UK film premieres, 11 world short premieres and 13 UK short premieres, playing host to 25 features, 51 shorts and 4 VR shorts in total, alongside its regular events such as the 47 Hour Film Challenge and Sci-Fido, the world’s only dog cosplay!
The festival gets underway with the Opening Night film, the UK premiere of Caught, which tells the story of a ‘work-from-home’ journalist couple who invite a man and woman, called Mr & Mrs Blair, into their idyllic village home. But what begins with an informal interview descends into a nightmarish fight for survival.
Closing the festivities is the world premiere of The Rizen, which takes place in 1955, where NATO and the Allied Forces have been conducting secret, occult experiments in a bid to win the Arms Race. Now, they have finally succeeded but what the Army has unleashed threatens to tear our world apart. One woman must lead the only survivors past horrors that the military has no way to control – and fight to close what should never have been opened.
