Speculative Film Festival

The 2023 Speculative Film Festival happened Thursday and Friday Nights. We showed 37 short films from 13 countries over two nights. The film quality was so good the judges had a hard time selecting the winners, so this year we are giving…

2 Judges Choices awards:
Fetch, directed by Sam Gill, New Zealand.
La Nueva (The Newcomer), directed by Ivan Villamel, Spain.

The judges would also like to give an Honorable Mention to
All is Well, directed by Elaine del Valle, United States

The Audience choice was also split between two films

The Post, directed by Antonio Souto Fraguas, United States
The Operator, directed by Matt Riley, United Kingdoms

Congratulations to our winners, and a huge thank you to all the filmmakers who submitted their films!

Hoedown Superheroes

Lobby Photo Area
Sunday, noon–1 p.m.

Howdy partners welcome to the Hoedown Superheroes photoshoot event!

There will be superheroes Wild West style for you to photograph—or you’re welcome to participate! Choose a superhero and create them as if they were in the Wild West (roughly 1865-1895). Anything is fair game, Steampunk, fantasy, Westworld, or whatever makes you happy. It doesn’t need to be period but should be recognizable as the Wild West.
