From the people who run GRIMMFEST one of the UK's biggest and most prestigious fantastic film festivals comes something new. An explosive celebration of science fiction cinema called SUPERNOVA!

We are seeking out the very best independent quality short films in and around the sci-fi genre to play before our specially curated line up of genre classics and forgotten gems!

We actively seek the exciting, boundary pushing, strange, disturbing, futurist, scary, intense, thought provoking, out of this world additions to the sci-fi world; in fact any movies that contain Sci-fi elements are eligible for consideration for the festival!

The second annual SUPERNOVA INTERNATIONAL SCIENCE FICTION CELEBRATION will run April 29th at the Odeon Printworks cinema, Manchester UK, as a counterpoint to our October horror event! It's going to be awesome!

    Great Concept, Great People behind it and a Mega Venue.

    It was an honour to be included in a program of many of our favourite Sci-Fi films.

    Well worth submitting.

    Supernova is organised by the same folks responsible for Grimm Up North - so the quality of everything is at a really high standard. To be screened in a massive Odeon cinema is pretty special and it was our World premiere so doubly so. It might have been nice to have more of an opportunity to network though and there wasn't really a space to do that in. But it's a minor gripe. It was a real honour to be a part of it.
