Join us at Comic-Con Museum on June 8 from 2 pm to 3 pm as we showcase three CCI-IFF award-winning science fiction short films from around the world. These thought-provoking stories will stretch your imagination and tug at your heart during this one-hour event. Don’t miss your chance to see these three films that won Best Science Fiction Film during the past 20-plus years of the Comic-Con International Independent Film Festival. Additionally, we’ll have Juan Carlos Vargas discussing his short story film, Man vs. Woman, followed by a Q&A session.

Titles Being Shown

  • Man vs. Woman

A science fiction–action film about an explosive duel between four desperate scavengers—a man, a woman, a cloned velociraptor, and a heavily armed robot—fighting for survival on a desolate, dry planet.

  • Heal

In the midst of the ongoing conflict in Afghanistan and Pakistan, a gifted child makes an extraordinary effort for his people.

  • The Rat’s Dilemma

In the Holocaust, a gifted Jewish physicist named Rudolph is forced to build a teleporter for the Nazis. Rudolph keeps telling his Nazi supervisor Heinz that the machine doesn’t work yet, but Heinz suspects Rudolph is hiding something. As Heinz is determined to squeeze the truth out by any means necessary, Rudolph soon has to face the dilemma of his life.

This event is free for Comic-Con Museum members and is included with paid admission to the general public. 

Some films explore mature themes. Viewer discretion is advised.

Theater seating is limited and is available on a first-come, first-served basis.
