1st Meeting for New Seattle Genre Film Festival

To Genre Film Fans

The Maelstrom International Fantastic Film Festival(M.I.F.F.F.) is the Pacific Northwest's premier weekend long event devoted towards independent and international genre film making. The event was created to offer exposure to films that traditionally are overlooked by the festival circuit from genres including action, fantasy, horror, and science fiction. The festival will feature an amazing selection of fantastic films from around the earth – with the possibility of artists presenting the works themselves. U.S. and world premieres will play alongside global festival favorites and select retrospective titles.
