Sharlenemusic updated Sept. 2018 “Ground control to Major Tom…can you hear me Major Tom?” One of our three annual film festivals has changed its name to better accommodate our judges, submitters and other interested participants. Formerly the Colorado International Flat Earth Film Festival #CIFEFF, we’re now the Colorado International SciFi & Fantasy Film Festival, #CISFFF 2018. We feel the new name will have broader appeal to a wider audience. We apologize for any inconvenience. Please update your records and website links accordingly.
We’re planning our first event at Denver Open Media (DOM), 700 Kalamath Street, Saturday, Nov. 17, 2018, 1 PM- 5PM. Tentatively, we’ll watch award-winning films & music videos at DOM. Then, we’ll probably head over to the Barfly at Alamo Drafthouse for dinner, drinks and schmoozing. Exact dates/times will be firmed up within a month of the event. Please keep an eye on our websites for details.

“Science fiction has sometimes been used as a means of social protest. James Cameron’s film Avatar was intended as a protest against imperialism, and specifically against the European colonization of the Americas. Its images were used by, among others, Palestinians in their protest against Israel. Robots, artificial humans, human clones, intelligent computers, and their possible conflicts with humans has been a major theme of science fiction since the publication of Frankenstein. Some critics have seen this as reflecting authors’ concerns over the social alienation seen in modern society.” Read more.

We welcome presentations relevant to all aspects of alternative Cosmologies, including Gravity, Electro-magnetism, Time Travel, Time & Space, Time Dilation, Timekeeping, Relativity, Quantum Mechanics, Astronomy, Astrology, Theoretical/Thought Experiments, Resonance/Frequency, Mathematics/Probability, Sacred Geometry, Mythology, Comparative Religion & similar “real”, scifi & fantasy topics.
We’re interested in your travel narratives & expeditions, both modern & ancient, documentary & fictional. As author Sir Terry Pratchett observes, while a mission may indeed prove the existence of the turtle, it may be unable to answer an even more fundamental question: what is the sex of the turtle?
Is the answer to life, the universe, and everything, as Douglas Adams speculated in A Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy, really 42? Or do you come to a different conclusion?
Does the magical “velcro of gravity” pull the atmosphere along as the Earth spins? Why does the horizon always look flat to the eye? What about the phenomenon of”Crepuscular” sun rays? If the sun is 93 million miles away, how does its heat travel through space, an apparent vacuum, to reach us? We’re also interested in stories featuring Evolution (Abiogenesis) and Creation topics.
Many argue that ancient teachings and scriptures from around the world describe the Earth as a flat disk, covered by a physical dome, at the center of the universe. Do you agree? Disagree? These and all related investigations concerning the sun, moon, stars, oceans, lakes, mountains, valleys, deserts, universe, time and all perspectives on our beautiful home and all of creation are welcome at our film festival!
We would like to feature films, music videos, art/photos, and screenplays with themes along the lines of The Principle (2014) directed by Katheryne Thomas and written by Rick DeLano. Here’s the trailer for that film.
Heliocentrism is the astronomical model in which the Earth and planets revolve around the Sun at the center of the Solar System. Historically, Heliocentrism was opposed to Geocentrism, which placed the Earth at the center.
The Flat Earth cosmological model (generally) posits that the Earth exists on a giant, flat plane with the Arctic/North Pole at the center, and a huge wall of ice/Antarctic surrounding the entire disc, forming its circumference. The implication of this is that we may live under a giant dome, of sorts, or a “firmament” as characterized by the popular American satirical comedy-drama directed by Peter Weir, The Truman Show (1998).
Depending on the number and types of submissions we receive, we may provide alternative and additional awards. We would also like to provide awards for photos/art. Submit now.
As our festival acquires sponsorship and funding, we hope to offer many cash and other types of awards to talented activist filmmakers and creatives. We are accepting donations at the door and in advance. All donations go toward supporting award-winning activist writers, artists, musicians, photographers and filmmakers. All award winners are automatically enrolled in our Learned Society, the Association for International Activist Filmmakers (a $100 value). Learn more.
