On June 18, 2022 the inaugural Space Brains Film Festival was held.
About The Festival
The Space Brains Sci-Fi Film Festival is the only dedicated science fiction film festival in Western Australia and finds its home in sunny Mandurah, just south of Perth. Mandurah is known for its beaches, dolphins, crabs and now, science fiction.
The Space Brains Sci-Fi Film Festival is a competition for independent science fiction filmmakers to highlight their films and talents. The festival draws particular focus on the work of regional Western Australian filmmakers to help give them a platform to speak about their projects. As a part of the Space Brains SciFi Film Festival, we present a series of filmmaker panel discussions, science related community activities and celebrate the best science fiction films with a screening and awards gala.
