SIFF 2011 - May 19 – June 12, 2011 Earlybird Submission Deadline is November 1, 2010 Regular Submission Deadline is December 7, 2010 Final Submission Deadline is January 3, 2011
PAX 2010 already occurred early in September and admissions were sold out in early August. The PAX website does not currently display info about PAX 2010.
You may have already stumbled upon this list, but in case you haven't, wikipedia has a very comprehensive list of all (or most) worldwide indi-film fest's - when they are held and where, by continent. (There's a few in London, UK - that'd be cool)
Ya, many have links to their own sites for more info. I hear ya, some are geared toward certain genre's more than others, it looks like. I was reading that Seattle's own SIFF is one of the biggest, if not THE biggest in North America (as far as sheer numbers of films showcased) I have some spare time - I'll poke through the list and see how many may be "Kick @ss Sci-Fi - Awesome Adventure Movie!" friendly. : )
Isaac, thank you! I'll check these out. Not sure the "Science Fiction + Fantasy Short Film Festival" is a fit. Project London is a feature length movie.
I would suggest GenCon Indy in August. I know it is primarily a gaming convention but it would be a great place to screen a cross-interest audience. :)
