Returning for an eight exciting year, Other Worlds<\/a>, one of the premier SciFi Film Festivals in the US, features some of the best and unheralded genre films. Beginning on Thursday December 2<\/strong> at Austin\u2019s Galaxy Highland 10, the four day event includes over 25 feature films, a slew of shorts, a screenwriting workshop, and the Mary Shelley Award. This year also features an additional five days of virtual events.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After skipping last years virtual only event, I gladly return to the festival for another go around.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
