    The most innovative and perhaps most influential genres of science fiction film today are not the big-budget Hollywood films but the countless short films created and distributed online by small, independent and sometimes one-person film studios. The capabilities of new, relatively inexpensive desktop animation and film editing software have unleashed the talents of independent science fiction filmmakers worldwide and have produced original, visually and narratively complex works of arresting beauty and historical significance. Join us to view some of the best work in contemporary science fiction film created by filmmakers from nearly a dozen nations.
