Sponsoring SCI-FI-LONDON
A POWERFUL PROMOTIONAL OPPORTUNITY FOR REACHING
THE HIGHLY SOUGHT-AFTER 18-40 AUDIENCE
We are an internationally renowned independent film festival with a smart, affluent, vocal, cinema-going audience. Not a convention, not full of stalls selling toys and memorabilia, but a showcase for some of the best art house film from around the world...
The London International Festival of Science Fiction and Fantastic Film, or SCI–FI–LONDON, is one of the world’s leading genre festivals. It takes place annually in London in April/May, with a mini-festival in October and satellite events running throughout the year.
- The festival is popular with a knowledgeable adult audience
- Our programme has proved influential on the worldwide film festival scene
- We have enthusiastic coverage from local and international media
- An ideal springboard to launch films as UK or European premieres
- A vast group of sponsors and partners demonstrates our communicative relevance
- A great place to showcase products and services to savvy consumers
“SCI-FI-LONDON Film Festival is a significant contributor to London’s film cultural life. The strong audiences achieved by its screenings are a testament both to the city’s appetite for science fiction film and to the work the festival does in bringing new audiences to the genre.“ Film London
The festival is known for challenging narrow definitions of the genre (‘the science fiction film festival for people who don’t like science fiction’) and our dedicated team of staff volunteers ensures we deliver one of the friendliest festivals around.
The website, www.sci-fi-london.com provides a year-round integrated portal with news, reviews, social networking and competitions while www.sci-fi-london.tv is a free internet TV channel showcasing science fiction shorts, features and interviews.
In 2012, the festival celebrates its 11th year.!
