SCI-FI-LONDON is committed to presenting short films as a part of the festival line-up. Each year we put out a call for short film and each year we receive hundreds of amazing stories from around the world.
It is always a difficult task to select which films to bring you, so many of them are exceptional. However, we hope we have brought together a great and eclectic mix of fantastic film for our 6th festival.
Maryland: May 4th

Charles Theater
Baltimore MD
The Maryland Film Festival, funded by an unusual
public/private partnership in Maryland, has two practical economic
development goals: 1) to create a world class film festival centered
in Baltimore, and 2) to bring filmmakers to Maryland as a way to
encourage future production in the state.
Our artistic goals are the foundation for everything we do. We
recognize that there are many film festivals around the world, other
good ones in and around Maryland, so the Maryland Film Festival is
dedicated to adding something to what is already available. We are
already establishing a unique personality. We want our festival
audience to have a special experience.
While not a formal market, the Maryland Film Festival has become an
advocate for films and filmmakers as they enter the marketplace.
