[PORTLAND, Ore – March 18, 2024] – Entertaining. Inspirational. Thought-provoking. Science fiction cinema as both art and insight into popular thinking on the future is celebrated at OMSI’s 2024 Sci-Fi Film Festival.

For eight weeks this spring, the festival will showcase over 40 of science fiction’s most memorable films on the Empirical Theater’s giant four-story screen.
