Submissions for this year’s Monsters and Martians Science Fiction Film Festival taking place November 14th-17th are now open.

Posted on Jun 14, 2013 in Film

Submissions are now open for the second edition of the Monsters and Martians Science Fiction Film Festival. In our inaugural year, the festival’s lineup featured some brilliant and innovative films which addressed a broad range of concepts and ideas. From alien linguistics to the future of arts and music in Montreal and the potential pitfalls of Google Glass technology we explored a great deal of the potential that independent science fiction film has to offer. We intend to once again feature films that realize that aforementioned potential and push the boundaries of our understanding of what Science Fiction and speculative filmmaking means.

In the interests of fostering new talent and giving new and emerging filmmakers a spotlight and a platform they can use to showcase their talents, the Monsters and Martians Science Fiction Film Festival is offering a discounted submission rate of $10 per submission for students.

Feature Length Films: Minimum 1 hour length Early Bird Fee: $25 Regular Fee: $30
