  The Icons of Science Fiction Exhibition just opened. Now EMP Museum is looking for the future filmmakers who might one day inspire an addition to this amazing collection.

  EMP Museum is now accepting entries for the 8th Annual 2013 Science Fiction + Fantasy Short Film Festival (SFFSFF).  EMP and the Seattle International Film Festival (SIFF), encourages the submission of original science fiction and fantasy short films. The festival will accept animated or live-action submissions in science fiction (futuristic stories, space adventure, technological speculation, social experiments, utopia and dystopia), and fantasy (sword and sorcery, folklore, urban fantasy, magic, mythic adventure). Note: The festival will not accept horror submissions.  A hand-selected jury comprised of science fiction professionals in film, television, and literature will select 20 films to be screened in Seattle in early 2013.  The jury will also award a Grand Prize, Second Place, Third Place, and the Douglas Trumbull Award for Best Special Effects.  SFFSFF viewers will cast their vote to determine the winner of the Audience Favorite Award. In order to qualify, submitted films must have been completed after January 2008, and must not exceed fifteen minutes.

  If Prometheus has you longing for the original Alien then set course for the EMP Museum in Seattle. Icons of Science Fiction just opened featured some of the most memorable artifacts of favorite films, television shows, novels and comics. You can see part of Michael Biehn’s uniform from Aliens. Ridley Scott is among the titans on Science Fiction Hall of Fame altar.

  After experiencing Icons transport yourself next door into Can’t Look Away: The Lure of Horror Film exhibit where another sci-fi icon is already in residence: the nasty monster from Alien.

  Here’s my preview/review of Icons of Science Fiction. I feel lucky to live in a city which such devoted sci-fi fans that we have our own museum!
