Designed to honor legendary filmmakers, discover new talent, unite the entertainment community, and encourage genre conversation, the Silver Scream Film and Comic Festival is a three-day event that debuted this year in Santa Rosa, CA. However, due to some scheduling conflicts, in 2017 Silver Scream is moving to Dallas, and that’s not the only change…
The fest is also teaming up with Alien Expo, the newest extravaganza from the producers of Alien Con. It’s all taking place May 26-28, and here are the early details.
From the Press Release:
Silver Scream Film and Comic Festival will be taking its second year on vacation — to Texas.
Normally held in Santa Rosa, California, and originally scheduled for February, the Famous Monsters and Cosmic-Con event will instead run for three days at the Dallas Sheraton Hotel and Convention Center alongside Alien Expo, from the producers of Alien Con.
“Due to scheduling conflicts, we’ve decided to move the festival to Dallas,” said Philip Kim, Cosmic-Con producer and publisher of Famous Monsters. “Luckily, the large number of submissions will be better accommodated by Alien Expo, and holding the festival alongside a convention will increase the number of potential participants.”
Silver Scream is comprised of film screenings, award ceremonies, social gatherings, and celebratory parties. They feature and short length films, animations, screenplays, and comic book or graphic novel submissions.
The submission deadlines for Silver Scream will be extended two months to allow for local Dallas writers’ and filmmakers’ participation (find out more here), and future guest announcements will be made to coincide with convention events.
Silver Scream will return to Santa Rosa in 2018.
