Science fiction and fantasy are the release valves for the boiling engine that is our existence. Here we experience stories of places as unfamiliar as a Medieval France populated by giant snails, and as familiar as our own backyard, each taking us out of our own universe. Fantastical tales of dragons stand alongside emotional stories of AI’s potential. Whether it’s young zombies in love, a time-traveler training film, or an interplanetary rescue, these global films will pick you up and take you on a monkey-piloted rocket car trip across the salt flats of cinema! – Chris Garcia
