Boston SciFi is a cinematic event held every year in February. SF49 in 2024 will be a hybrid event, live and virtual. We host roughly 30 features, 80 shorts, 10 workshops/panels and, of course, parties. The in-person ends with a cinematic overload called THE MARATHON, a 24 hour non-stop binge view of classic, not-so-classic and downright schlocky films. It comes with guests, games and surprises. Festival Passes and Marathon tickets are available at The STORE. Individual shows will be on sale closer to the Fest.

We were born at the legendary Orson Welles Cinema just outside of Harvard Square in Cambridge, MA. 2024 marks our 49th anniversary, and yes, we are the longest running genre fest in America. We have weathered fires, blizzards, and now pandemics. We have witnessed the days of VHS, the reign of DVDs, the emergence of cable TV, and the challenge of streaming videos. And yet we have not only survived; we have thrived.

It is our commitment to science fiction storytelling coupled with the support of filmmakers and patrons that has made this so. That is what the Orson Welles was about. That is what we are about and that is what we will always be about. All you have to do is look around and know, THE FUTURE IS NOW. The future is the 48th Boston Science Fiction Film Festival and Marathon.

IMAGINATION. CINEMA. KINSHIP.

(Not necessarily in that order)
