After our Horrorfest film festival (est. 2005) started receiving many feature films and short films with strong Sci-Fi, Fantasy and Animation elements (but not enough to fit the event's Horror theme), we felt compelled to not let these amazing submissions fall by the wayside, and simply create a new festival. Thus CELLUDROID was born!
While its main focus is Science Fiction, we also include Animation and movies with Fantasy elements.
Across the years we've screened some amazing movies, new, old and rare, from District 9, Iron Sky, Hardware, Montauk Chronicles and Dust Devil, to Lunopolis, Godkiller, War Of The Worlds: The True Story, Automatons, Science Team and many more (plus special commercial pre-release shows of commercial cinema releases like Insidious, Scream 4 and Young Ones).
Filmmaker guests have included director Richard Stanley (Hardware) and special make-up FX artist Clinton Smith (Resident Evil).
The legendary Metropolis also screened with a new live score performed by The Makabra Ensemble.
Celludroid has also incorporated documentaries, including Traceroute, The Billy Meier Story, The Otherworld, UFOs 1973.
With the recent pandemic restrictions, the festival will expand to incorporate an on-line chapter.
The highest quality movies are acknowledged with award certificates across a wide range of categories.
