A Fantasy Film Festival. By Daniel Sawyerr
Sci-Fi London is the UK’s most popular science-fiction themed event. It started in 2002, and is visited by around 4,500 people every year. It takes place at several London venues. One place is the Apollo West End Cinema – which is used for the UK’s Hollywood Premiers. Sci-Fi London shows the best new science fiction and fantasy films, as well as documentaries. And, if you’re lucky, you can see world premiers before the celebrities. In 2002, the festival was the first to show the successful movie 28 Days Later.
However, there’s more to do than watch films at this festival. For a start, you can try out your own film-making skills and take part in the 48-Hour Film Challenge. You can also get involved in discussions and science-fiction debates. But if you just want to watch films, you can join the hardcore fans and watch classic sci-fi and anime films throughout the night. Don’t worry, the festival will supply you with enough caffeine to keep you awake (Red Bull, coffee and tea).
