Hello,

I'm excited to write to you regarding the third annual Science Fiction
Short Film Festival sponsored by the Science Fiction Museum and Hall of
Fame and the Seattle International Film Festival.  From June 1 through
September 15, 2007, the Science Fiction Short Film Festival will accept
short film submissions, up to 15 minutes in length, that have been
produced after 2003 for entry into the competition. Submissions will be
judged based on originality, quality, artistic merit, innovation, voice,
style and narrative. This is an amazing opportunity for new and
established filmmakers to present their film to a panel of distinguished
film, television, literature, and science fiction industry
professionals. The chosen entries will be screened in competition during
the festival, which takes place in January or February (exact date TBA),
2008, at the Cinerama Theatre in Seattle, Washington.

We're offering a unique chance for filmmakers to enter their films in a
nationally recognized festival.  Please pass this information along if
you think your fellow Dorkbot members would be interested.  We welcome
the opportunity to view their work.

The Science Fiction Short Film Festival promotes and encourages an
awareness, appreciation and understanding of the art of science fiction
cinema. Its mandate is to create a forum for creative artistry in
science fiction film and recognize the most outstanding short films
produced.  More information and submission details can be found at
http://www.sfhomeworld.org/filmfestival.  Festival submissions are also
accepted through Withoutabox at http://www.withoutabox.com/login/4608.

We encourage you to post this information publicly, and look forward to
the opportunity to view and evaluate these original works of science
fiction short filmmaking.

All the best,
