"Si-Fan is a festival which spans the quirky, the surreal, the fantastic, and the fantastical—a wonderful spectrum of cinematic gems pushing the boundaries of genre." - Bafta-winning director Morag McKinnon.  

Si-Fan is the sister festival of the Bi Short Com Film and Animation Festival, a new genre-led arts festival for Scottish audiences. We look to find the best films and animations in sci-fi, fantasy, horror, action, thriller, and magical realism.  

We love genre because it's one of the purest forms of imagination and exploration, allowing for unique storytelling and transporting audiences to new worlds.
