The international Film Festival
Science fiction and fantasy cross geographical and political borders and are not limited to Hollywood, as one may think.
In spite of what many people think, no special effects are necessary (yet we do like them a lot!) in order to make a beautiful fantasy or science fiction movie with an exciting plot, great acting and innovative directing methods.
