Overview
SciFian Festa is a South Korean science-fiction film festival focused on sci-fi and fantasy works, including short films and other genre-driven projects. In 2023, it screened and awarded Korean and international titles such as "Gliese" and "The Fourth Sunrise," and its selections appeared alongside other genre festivals and international showcases, underscoring its role as a niche platform for speculative cinema.[1][2][4][6]
