The longest running genre fest in the US, the Boston Science Fiction Film Festival (Boston SciFi for short) returned for its 48th annual event in Somerville, Ma last week.
I was only able to attend one of the five days, but I managed to squeeze in four features plus two panels. Here’s what I saw at this year’s Boston Science Fiction Film Festival.
The Warm Season
Boston SciFi hosted the world premiere of The Warm Season, a character-driven sci-fi drama with shades of Starman. As a young girl, Clive (Carie Kawa) encountered Mann (Michael Esparza), an alien in human disguise, who gave her a glowing rock before being captured by government agents. 25 years later in 1992, an escaped Mann returns to Clive’s failing motel to retrieve the “fail-safe” in order to return to his planet. Between the weather patterns and the government closing in, they only have three days to get him home.

Exclusive: Actor Maxwell McCabe-Lokos will make his directorial debut with the forthcoming dark comedy Stanleyville. The pic unveiled its cast that includes Susanne Wuest, Cara Ricketts, Julian Richings, Christian Serritiello, George Tchortov and Adam Brown. The film is currently in production, shooting in Canada and Germany.
Written by McCabe-Lokos and Rob Benvie, Stanleyville is a satirical feature comedy that follows six disparate characters with nothing to lose as they face off in a bizarre competition for a slightly used habanero-orange compact sport utility vehicle.
The story follows Maria Barbizan (Wuest) who has walked away from her life – her job, her money, her feckless husband and vile teenaged daughter – her entire identity.

Götz Spielmann’s 2004 Austrian drama Antares was a largely dispiriting example of the “everything is connected” arthouse plugger, designed to show, with irony aplenty, how one calamitous event can unite a disparate group of strangers. Spielmann’s Oscar-nominated Revanche also weaves together multiple storylines, but far more skillfully. Johannes Krisch plays a Viennese brothel’s driver/enforcer, who spends his downtime drafting strategies for extricating his prostitute girlfriend Irina Potapenko from the red-light district. Ursula Strauss plays a lonely small-town housewife—married to increasingly distant cop Andreas Lust—who’s dealing with a recent miscarriage by making herself ...
