SFC Film Festival
The Space Faring Civilisation (SFC) Film Festival is an annual event held during National Science Week, dedicated to celebrating science, space exploration, and positive storytelling—what we call “positive space films.” From our home in Canberra, Australia, we’re growing this festival with the vision of bringing indie space-themed short films to independent theatres worldwide.
