Hyperdrive Sci-Fi & Fantasy Film Festival (1)

Festival start: 03 October 2015      Festival end: 04 October 2015

The Hyperdrive Film Festival is a fantastic, fun film festival where visitors can get up close and personal with some of the greatest up-and-comers from the world of Sci-Fi and Fantasy film. The festival will run on the 3rd and 4th October 2015 with filmmakers from across the country coming to show-off their latest productions, answer your questions and, all the while, raise a great big pile of money for a fantastic cause.

The charity that will benefit from The Hyperdrive Film Festival will be the Smile Train (Registered charity number: 057389620, smiletrain.org.uk) who provide thousands of free, often life-saving, cleft lip and/or palate surgeries each year to children in developing countries. For every £150 we raise for Smile Train, another child will receive a cleft surgery that can save their lives and gives them the chance at a normal life, with a smile

We will be hosting the festival at the Hailsham Pavilion (Registered charity number: 1062538, pavilionhailsham.co.uk), a beautifully refurbished Edwardian theatre/cinema. Part of the money raised will go to renting the cinema for the two days of the festival.

The programme for The Hyperdrive Film Festival will be:

Saturday 13:00 to 18:00
Saturday 18:30 to 23:30

Sunday 13:00 to 18:00
