Posted on September 12th, 2008

Sci-Fi-London Does It Twice A Year! Due To Popular Demand, The UK’s Leading Genre Festival announces the first Sci-Fi-London: Oktoberfest, a special one-day event on Friday 3rd October at the Apollo West End.

The Oktoberfest will feature several UK premieres and three different all-night programmes to include our notorious Anime Allnighter and a nod to things a little more gory with a night of new Zombie films.

Louis Savy, Festival Director said:

I am really excited about this event. Visitors to our annual festival kept telling us a year was too long to wait and why don’t we put something on mid-year. Well, we listened and created this special event.

Tickets are on sale from the Apollo box office (19 Regent Street, London SW1Y 4LR, UK, phone +44 020 7451 9944)

The UK’s only science fiction and fantastic film festival, Sci-Fi-London is set to deliver its 8th festival in 2009. Over the last 7 years Sci-Fi-London has proved a hit with venues, sponsors, film studios and audience. Each year screening attendance has topped 80% and it has consistently attracted excellent media attention. 

The festival continues to bring fun, challenging and interesting movie premieres to the UK along with a programme of rarely screened classics. Sci-Fi-London prides on delivering World, UK and London premieres and a dynamic shorts programme, which has sold out every year.

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.
