Sci-Fi London celebrates 10 years of fantastic film

The UK's leading science fiction festival Sci-Fi London (a.ka. The London International Festival of Science Fiction and Fantastic Film) celebrates its tenth anniversary this spring and the organisers have just released some juicy information about the upcoming event, which will run from April 23rd to May 2nd at London's BFI Southbank and BFI Imax.


The festival will play host to a number of film screenings, special events, celebrations and workshops, and in addition to the core film programme highlights include...

- '48 Hour Film Challenge', with Edgar Wright (Scott Pilgrim vs. the World) and Gareth Edwards (Monsters) serving on the jury. First prize is a rather fabulous feature development deal with Vertigo Films.

- An all-nighter on the eve of Prince William's marriage to Kate Middleton, featuring five black-and-white classics including Bride of Frankenstein, Bride of Dracula and I Married a Witch.

- Manga UK's twentieth anniversary with an HD screening of Akira and the premiere of a brand new animé feature entitled Eden of the East.

- A free 'Fantasy Easter Parade' along the Southbank on Easter Sunday, featuring zombies, superheroes, stormtroopers and more.
