Join us for the 2026 Sci-Fi Film Festival!
Entertaining. Inspirational. Thought-provoking. Science fiction cinema is celebrated at OMSI’s 2026 Sci-Fi Film Festival.
The Sci-Fi Film Fest is back! For five weeks this spring, the festival will showcase over 30 of science fiction’s most memorable films on the Empirical Theater’s giant four-story screen. From genre classics such as 2001: A Space Odyssey to more recent favorites like Denis Villeneuve’s epic two-part adaptation of Dune, the festival’s offerings are sure to appeal to science fiction fans of all ages and interests.
This year’s Opening Night celebration sees the return to the festival of the landmark Keanu Reeves’ starrer The Matrix for the first time since 2019. Opening Night tickets include movie snacks, a beverage (either alcoholic or non-alcoholic), and door prizes.
Admission to Opening Night is included with the purchase of a festival pass.
