Attention citizens of earth and the greater Philadelphia region, join us as we embark on our Fourth Annual Sci-Phi Film Festival taking place March 27th through March 29th. From time traveling DeLorean’s to invaders from another planet, our mission is to showcase some of the most exceptional science fiction films of all time over the course of 3 days. The Festival continues on Saturday with a very influential film from 1973- WESTWORLD! 𝗧𝗶𝗰𝗸𝗲𝘁𝘀 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗙𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗮𝗹 𝗽𝗮𝘀𝘀𝗲𝘀 𝘁𝗼 𝗮𝗹𝗹 𝟭𝟬 𝗳𝗶𝗹𝗺𝘀 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗮𝘃𝗮𝗶𝗹𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲 𝗻𝗼𝘄 𝗮𝘁 hiwaytheater.org/sciphi
𝗔𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗺𝗼𝘃𝗶𝗲: Before it became a hit tv series for HBO — WESTWORLD started as a futuristic sci-fi thriller written and directed by Michael Crichton (author of Jurassic Park) about a doomed adult theme park (sound familiar?). Role-playing guests visit three fantasy lands — Medieval World, Roman World, and West World — which are populated by life-like robots. Yul Brynner famously portrays the android gunslinger who ends up malfunctioning and starts murdering the park guests. Also starring Richard Benjamin and James Brolin.
The 2026 Sci-Phi Film Festival is sponsored by a generous grant courtesy of the Vesta Fund.
