After\u00a0two successful years, the\u00a0Other Worlds Austin<\/a> scifi film festival returns this Thursday, December 1st, in new digs (Flix Brewhouse<\/a>) and with an additional day. The now four day event has grown to include 18 full length films, a slew of of shorts, and an appearance by B-movie legend Sybil Danning, the late Dan O\u2019Bannon\u2019s wife Diane O\u2019Bannon, and others. Not terribly surprising to anyone who regularly follows my writings, I\u2019m\u00a0covering\u00a0the event.<\/p>\n

Here’s what to expect at Other Worlds Austin 2016.<\/p>\n
