We can't wait to welcome you aboard
From 31 May – 6 June 2023, the 23rd festival will take place at Picturehouse Central, Prince Charles Cinema, The Garden Cinema and Rich Mix.
We are getting busy selecting the films, finding sponsors and planning our marketing and promotion, and looking for volunteers to join our amazing team and help deliver a brilliant festival.
FESTIVAL OVERVIEW
We are a festival of science fiction and fantastic film that looks for the latest in original independent genre movies from around the world. Over our 20 plus years we have had a wide and varied programme that also includes sci-fi literature and real science.
Established in 2001, the festival has grown increasingly popular as fans discover our unique take on the genre that includes the peculiar while embracing the mainstream. We’ve remained independent thanks tothe generous support of our sponsors and partners, and, of course, the dedicated fans.
The festival is also particularly interested in supporting new British filmmaking talent, not only by screening works-in-progress, but also with initiatives such as our 48 Hour Film Challenge, which is proving a successful hotbed of creativity and fresh talent.
ABOUT VOLUNTEERING
Volunteering at SCI-FI-LONDON is a fun and rewarding experience. You will be working as part of a team to ensure that the festival is a success; before, during, and after the event itself.
We hold pre-festival meetings where we cover health and safety regulations at our venues, outlining roles, requirements, and rules, and take the opportunity to meet and greet our team of volunteers for each year’s festival.
We will then discuss availability for shifts and begin to draw up a rota for the festival.
If you would like to volunteer for the festival we will ask you to commit to at least two shifts, about 4 hours each.
As a volunteer, you will be issued with a SCI-FI-LONDON limited edition t-shirt to keep and wear during your shift.
To get involved please complete our application form before the 5th May
