ArtsQuest is excited to announce the return of the Sci-Fi Film Festival being held from July 25-28 at the Frank Banko Alehouse Cinemas, located inside the ArtsQuest Center.

There will be 13 films shown over four action packed days with a carefully curated selection that spans the vast scope of the genre’s wonders, from blockbuster classics to mind-bending animations to boundary pushing art house films.

The festival will kick off on Thursday, July 25 in celebration of Art House Theater Day. Art House Theater Day is a day where exhibitors and audiences alike will come together to celebrate all that art house theaters and independent films contribute to our cultural landscape: ambitious and innovative art that provokes, challenges, entertains and inspires.

Included with the screening of The Terminator on July 25, will be a prerecorded Art House Cinema-exclusive Q&A between James Cameron and Gale Anne Hurd on the film’s indie roots and the critical importance of art house theaters.
