CLOSING NIGHT PROGRAM: ROBOT STORIES

Our closing night feature is the award-winning ROBOT STORIES from New York filmmaker Greg Pak. Billed as "science fiction from the heart" and featuring Tamlyn Tomita and Sab Shimono, ROBOT STORIES is an anthology of four short stories that explore the varied relationships between human and machine. We're very pleased to be able to close our festival with this stirring and thought-provoking film.

The short film presentation for our closing night will be chosen based on completed audience surveys from our Northwest programs #1 and #2. Cast your vote and tell us which Northwest film is your favorite!

*** SPECIAL GUEST: Producer Kim Ima will attend the screening!

Co-presented by Anne Adams on behalf of Experience Science Fiction.
