2005. S+F takes wing
Science+Fiction enters the European Fantastic Film Festivals Federation, created in the 90s to promote the production of this genre through a network of events that were often started taking the Festival in Trieste as a model.
Apart from the nine films competing for the Asteroide, there is a new section – European Fantastic Shorts – for the best European fantastic short film, awarded with the Méliès d’or.
On the agenda there is also a tribute to Jules Verne as it is the centenary of his death and the third and last chapter of Brit Invaders!, the retrospective exhibition dedicated to the British Sci-Fi production from the 60s to the contemporary authors. To come full circle, the homonymous volume, curated by I.Q. Hunter and Chiara Barbo, is published.
