Screamiverse Expo (3)

영화제 시작: 10 4월 2027      영화제 끝: 11 4월 2027

Screamiverse Expo is a horror, sci-fi, and arts convention taking place in Roanoke, VA on Saturday April 10th and Sunday April 11th 2027, our third year.

As part of our programming, we created a screening room where we will feature our 3rd annual film fest and showcase. Last year we were able to present 4 features and 18 shorts, and are excited to bring it back. Our goal is to make Screamiverse Expo a new annual tradition for fans of genre film—horror, sci-fi, cult classics, and everything in between, here in the heart of Appalachia.

Our film fest will take place all day Saturday and Sunday in Parlor A of the Berglund Center, marathon style. Then on Saturday there will be an awards ceremony on our main stage. Winning films do not need to be on site, we will mail you the awards at our expense.

If you want to attend the event and promote your project, we have vendor space available. We'll have a limited number of gratas booths available for filmmakers, and additional tables for sale in our main vendor hall.
Again, you do not have to be present to have your project showcased.

1. By submitting, you represent and warrant that you have full legal right and authority to submit the project for consideration by Screamiverse Expo, and that all necessary consents, licensing, and approvals have been obtained. Screamiverse Expo, its owners, management, subsidiaries, sponsors, affiliates, etc. are held harmless from any and all claims of liability resulting from your entry.

2. By submitting, you grant Screamiverse Expo the right to use promotional materials, including, but not limited to, trailers, images, excerpts, and posters. This material may be posted on websites and social media to promote your project.

3. Selections will be made progressively as we review, so submitters may receive notification of selection status before the final date of 1/31/2027 (Selected, Not Selected, etc). Since we are a free event, we get a lot of submissions, and know aesthetically what we want to present for the festival. Due to this, we may select all of our choices prior to the final deadline, so be sure to submit early!

4. If selected, we will need to download your film in advance. Please provide that option when submitting. Our screening room is on a lower level of our convention hall without the ability to stream. We unfortunately cannot play DVD or other physical copies.

5. AI policy. We are an arts convention, so we discourage works that are fully AI-generated. We will disqualify any AI films upon receipt.

Thank you!
