SciFi Film Festival 2016
Blast off.
Overview
Deep space and chilling dystopias will dominate the screen at the third annual SciFi Film Festival. Taking place at the Ritz Cinema in Randwick, this year's program features a striking selection of new release science fiction, featuring Kristen Stewart, Mark Strong, Kate Mara and more.
The festival opens on Wednesday, October 19 with the Australian premiere of Equals, a futuristic drama starring Stewart alongside Nicholas Hoult, Guy Pearce and Jacki Weaver. Other standouts in the four days that follow include Approaching the Unknown, a one-man space epic that offers a more "intelligent, meditative answer to the bombastic feel-good blast of The Martian," as well as the latest film in the Purge series, the appropriately titled The Purge: Election Year.
The program also features a number of short films, plus Star Trek documentary For the Love of Spock that should pair nicely with a retrospective screening of Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan. Cosplay is highly encouraged, FYI.
