Juggernaut Film Festival: A Sci-Fi + Fantasy Film Festival

DESCRIPTION

The 6th Annual Juggernaut Film Festival is a two-day event to celebrate Science Fiction and Fantasy films and filmmakers from around the world. It's presented by Chicago's Otherworld Theatre Company, whose mission is to further explore and promote the Sci-Fi/Fantasy genre. The festival prides itself for bringing together the community- from cinema enthusiasts, filmmakers, artists, and casual movie-goers alike - to encourage and support these new and innovative stories in the cinematic arts.

This year, the festival is hosted by Gates McFadden, known for playing Dr. Beverly Crusher in Star Trek: The Next Generation. Other contributions to the Science Fiction and Fantasy genre include choreographing for Jim Henson, most notably Labyrinth, The Dark Crystal, and Muppets Take Manhattan.

Saturday will also feature a special live performance by Improvised Star Trek.
