MythicFest is a Sci-Fi/Fantasy performing arts festival in Hollywood that welcomes artists of all backgrounds and producing levels.

The festival is lightly curated: the only requirement is that the films fit within the genres of sci-fi/fantasy OR are fan films.

A short film based on tales from The SCP Foundation? Yep.

Maybe a mockumentary about dwarven blacksmiths trying to unionize? Magical.

Perhaps a time-loop short that somehow loops your viewers into watching it twice? Genius.

Or, you can bring something completely new and original! Just as long as the themes and/or subject matter fit within the selected festival genres, you're good to go!

MythicFest returns this August. It will be a mixed-media performing arts festival, featuring both live performance and film screenings. There will be three screening sessions during the ten-day long festival. Group 1 and Group 2 will be the initial screenings for the Official Selections (five films in each line-up). Group 3 will be made up of the Audience Choice and Judge's Choice winners from Groups 1 and 2.

Information on the live performance aspects of the festival can be found at MythicFestLA.com
