6 DAYS! 1 EVENT! FEATURES. SHORTS. DOCUMENTARIES. WORKSHOPS. GUESTS.

Boston Sci-Fi is a 5 day film festival. In 2025, we will be at the Somerville Theatre and locations around Davis Square. 2025’s Festival will be a celebration of our 50th anniversary. Our festival will include feature films, short films, panels, our opening night gala, and our signature event THE MARATHON. Most of these will be live with some being shown virtually.

SF50 will take place in-person February 12-17, 2025.

The SF50 means Science Fiction 50th. This is the festival’s 50th anniversary, and yes, Virginia, we will be celebrating! Join us!

For the 2025 Festival (excluding The Marathon), about 300 films were submitted . Selections from these and curated titles add up to 10 feature screenings and 7 groups of shorts. The Marathon varies between 12 and 14 feature films. There are also workshops, special conversations, and parties.

The Marathon runs for 24 straight hours on the last day of our festival. The marathon starts Sunday at noon and finishes Monday at noon. Get your tickets today for the 50th anniversary!

Obviously if attending, you watch the films as they are scheduled. Here’s the festival schedule for 2025.

If you like science fiction films, yes. If you like seeing new filmmakers and the stars of the future, yes. When it comes to the Marathon, if you like staying up all night, yes. Either way, you’ll have a great time.
