Launches its cosmic 23rd annual programme!
The SCI-FI-LONDON FILM FESTIVAL 2023 has unveiled its annual programme which will run from Wednesday 31st May until Tuesday 6th June with seven days of fantastic films!
It will showcase a fabulous line-up with 2 World Premieres, 10 UK Premieres, 6 World Short Premieres and 13 UK Short Premieres. The festival is also doing a classic screening of Peter Watkins' THE WAR GAME with a live score!
Opening this year's festival on 31 May is the UK premiere of the exciting Swedish blockbuster, UFO SWEDEN by Victor Danell. It’s 1996, and a group of misfits in Norrköping spend their time investigating UFO sightings in Sweden. They debunk 99 per cent of the claims, but the remaining one per cent fuels their passion. UFO SWEDEN has a great script, impressive effects, and a brilliantly realised ’90s blockbuster feel; the lovechild of THE X-FILES and STRANGER THINGS!
The festival's Closing Night on Tuesday 6th June at Rich Mix in Shoreditch, is the UK Premiere of THE BYSTANDERS, directed by Gabriel Foster Prior.Ever wondered why shit happens to you despite your best efforts? Well, it might just be The Bystanders, invisible immortals supposed to act like guardian angels, screwing with your life because they are bored. Starring comic Seann Walsh, and a brilliant cast of upcoming comedians and actors, a superb sci-fi satire of modern life.
Other highlights include the World Premiere of OZMA, THE GREAT GLITCH/CHILDREN OF PARADISE (WORLD PREMIERE), ONCE UPON A TIME IN THE FUTURE 2121, WINTERTIDE and THE EYE AND THE WALL.
