What this means, is that the Babylon Cinema (our partners in creating Berlin Sci-fi Filmfest) have had to close and will probably not re-open until the New Year. We are optimistic that they will re-open and the festival once again will take place on the big screen next year. The Berlin Sci-fi Filmfest will continue though with an online international virtual theatre experience via XERB.TV. It will take place from 27th November to 6th December we are offering a mouth-watering program of independent short and feature films from around the world. In fact, we have 110 films from 28 countries over 20 sessions. No need to be bored during the lockdown, that’s for sure! For the 4th year, we have upgraded and tweaked our award once more. The winners, runner-ups and finalists will be announced on Sunday 29th November.
