Other Worlds Austin SciFi Film Festival

Science fiction comes in all shapes and sizes—horror, drama, comedy, shorts, and full-length films. Other World Austin brings the best of all that is SciFi to Austin. The three-day festival features films from all over the world, and all films are eligible for a cash prize Audience Award.

With a team of programmers who love science fiction, write science fiction, or make science fiction films of their own, we look past budgets or the Hollywood push to find great stories and give them an Austin premiere. We look for films that aren’t afraid to push the boundaries of the audience, thrilling them both visually and intellectually. OWA is firmly committed to supporting exciting filmmakers, by giving them exhibition opportunities for films that are often overlooked on the film festival circuit.
