MisCon 38 Film Festival Genres
- Fantasy
-
Our fantasy category welcomes films that deal with myth, magic, legend, and wonder. Whether following the exploits of heroes in lands far away and long ago or impossible happenings next door, films that excite the imagination will have their chance to win the hearts of viewers who want to believe.
- Horror
-
Whether your film features ghosts, vampires, zombies, murderers, or existential dread - if it is inspired by fear, designed to send chills down a viewer's spine, or brings them face to face with terror, the Horror category is the venue to showcase your work.
- MisCon Theme
-
Give us your interpretation of this year's MisCon Theme. The theme changes each year, so there are lots of opportunities. Read about this year's theme.
- Science Fiction
-
Does your film have mad scientists, experiments gone awry, spacecraft or stations, alien planets, time travel, strange creatures or robots? Does it tell the stories of brave resistance fighters and their struggle against their dystopian overlords in the past, present or future? Then the Science Fiction category was engineered for your film.
Please have subtitles hard coded to your submission(s). All entries will be placed in the category most appropriate to its content as determined by our screeners. Sometimes, however, a film blurs the boundaries of genre and requires an executive decision to be made about the category in which it will be placed. If you know this to be the case with your film, please determine the category you feel most appropriate.
