The Boston Science Fiction Film Festival is an 11-day cinematic event held at the historic Somerville Theatre from February 9th to the 19th. The 2018 edition marks our 43rd anniversary as the oldest science fiction film festival.
The first nine days is a traditional film festival. Films submitted and curated from around the world are screened, whether they be features, shorts, or webisodes. Plus we have workshops, parties or anything else that seems appropriate. Here at BostonSciFi we emphasize emerging directors with distinct visions.
The Festival concludes with The Marathon, a.k.a., “The ‘Thon”, a 24-hour orgiastic motion picture endurance test featuring classic, new and schlock films. Think of it as binge viewing with 750 close friends. It starts at noon on the 18th and ends at noon on President’s Day.
Boston SciFi is the oldest genre fest in the country and one of the oldest in the world. Being in Boston has many advantages, it is a world class city. Boston is one of the world’s best college towns (hello Harvard, MIT, BU, BC, Tufts and more). As such, BostonSciFi endeavors to reflect all of that in the festival. Then toss in, we are housed in the classic 1914 Somerville Theatre in the almost too hip Davis Square, and you can see why FilmFreeway touted us as one of the Top 100 Film Festivals.
If you’re a filmmaker, a film fan or a simply lover of science fiction, the Boston Science Fiction Film Festival is fresh, vital, and more importantly, a fun place to screen, watch and enjoy film!

Le phénomène de la civilisation russe, incommensurable par le « critère commun », à la fin du premier quart du XXIe siècle reprend sa pertinence, tant dans le monde qu'en Russie.
Le mot « russe » dans la compréhension des organisateurs du festival du film ne définit pas la nationalité, mais l'appartenance civilisationnelle et idéologique - au monde multinational russe.
Une personne russe diffère d'une personne « occidentale ». Une personne russe peut commettre des actes illogiques et « non rentables » - du point de vue des représentants de la civilisation occidentale : au détriment de lui-même, mais au nom de la justice. Après tout, pour une personne russe - si elle est en bonne conscience et en toute équité, cela est à la fois logique et bénéfique.
Aujourd'hui, lorsque le monde entier est confronté à des défis mondiaux - technologiques, sociaux, économiques, spirituels et idéologiques -, nous essayons de nouveau de trouver une source de force dans ces valeurs immatérielles qui ont donné un avantage au monde russe au cours des siècles.
L'expérience de la tenue du Festival du film russe en 2017-2020 a découvert un réel intérêt des cinéastes des régions de Russie et d'autres pays pour comprendre le thème inépuisable de la « mystérieuse âme russe ». Cela est particulièrement vrai pour les jeunes représentants du cinéma d'auteur en Russie, pour qui le Festival du film russe est devenu un lieu de rencontre à la fois avec des collègues et des cinéphiles reconnaissants.
Le Festival du film russe est en train de devenir un espace créatif public où il existe un processus animé de formation d'une communauté de personnes partageant les mêmes idées qui reflètent consciemment dans leur travail les valeurs spirituelles et morales de la civilisation russe.

« Le Festival international du film de Hamilton de SBE offre une occasion incroyable de réseauter avec d'autres cinéastes ambitieux, d'échanger des idées et des stratégies de collecte de fonds tout en vivant le charme de Hamilton, dans l'État de New York. Le Hamilton Theater est un lieu magnifique et Grant Slater a organisé un festival 5 étoiles avec une grande sélection de films, de plats et de bières locales. C'est un festival incontournable qui offre plus que des lauriers frivoles à ses cinéastes... on pourrait dire que vous quittez Hamilton avec un nouveau groupe d'amis qui offrent une perspective différente sur la réalisation et le visionnage de films ! »

« Le charme et l'intimité du Festival international du film de Hamilton en font un must pour tous les cinéastes. Grant et Todd Slater et toute la communauté de Hamilton ne pouvaient pas être plus accueillants. J'ai hâte de faire un autre film juste pour pouvoir revenir ! ! »
-Doug Dearth, Producteur/Réalisateur Underdogs
« C'était un honneur absolu de faire partie d'un festival aussi respecté. Grâce à l'aide, au travail acharné et à l'engagement de SBE, ma carrière au Royaume-Uni est passée de force en force. My Single, Worry a frappé le tableau iTunes Download et a atteint son sommet au numéro 6. La piste de suivi que j'ai récemment publiée a atteint le top 50 viral UK sur Spotify et nous avons maintenant mis en place un European Tour ensemble. C'est grâce à des gens comme Grant qui croient en moi dès le début de mon développement et qui m'ont aidé à me rendre là où je suis maintenant. »

The Madeira Film Festival is non – competitive. Rather than present awards MFF offers delegates the status of ‘AMBASSADOR OF THE LAURISSILVA’ thus helping to preserve and create awareness of Madeira’s endemic Laurissilva forest.
The Madeira Film Festival organisation fervently believes there is no better place in the world to stage a film festival than on the piquant Island of Madeira and there is no better place on Madeira to stage a film festival than in glorious Reid’s Palace Hotel and the Municipal Theatre in Funchal.
The crux of the Madeira Film Festival is to pay homage to the resilience of Madeira’s endemic Laurissilva Forest by screening a slate of films which are expansive, unsettling and profound,films which will hopefully impinge upon the viewers imagination.
One of the most effective measures that can be implemented in order to raise awareness of the Laurissilva forest and subsequently it’s preservation is through the undisputed persuasive strength of audio- visual communication. The aspiration of the Madeira Film Festival is to become one of Europe’s foremost film festivals, by sheer virtue of location there exists an inherent capacity to attain this.
