About the festival

We will thrill 1600 festival attendees with independently produced short science fiction and fantasy films from around the region and across the globe. BSSSFFF features live action and animated films in the science fiction, fantasy, and horror from some of the best independent filmmakers this side of the Crab Nebula.

Awards will be given in both the Live Action and Animation category based upon audience preferences.

Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, the 2020 film festival was virtual and online. For 2021 we are still evaluating our options. We hope that we can have a li9ve event in Baltimore, but depending upon the situaiton we are not ruling oout another online festival.

Award certificates to the top 3 (or more) films in each area, based upon audience voting.
