2017 Comic-Con International Independent Film Festival Schedule

The judges have decided … the Comic-Con International Independent Film Festival schedule for 2017 is set!

This year’s schedule features over 50 great films, from 7 different pop culture genres including Action/Adventure, Animation, Comics-Oriented, Documentary (Pop Culture-Oriented), Horror/Suspense, Humor, and Science Fiction/Fantasy. The films this year come from all over the world, including the U.S., Canada, France, Chile, Germany, Greece, Ireland, Israel, Russia, Sri Lanka, and Taiwan. The schedule also includes the return of the popular ongoing panel series Comic-Con Film School, a daily series of how-to panels on filmmaking, plus additional film-related panels on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday during the day. On Sunday, the CCI-IFF Awards will be presented, followed by screenings of the award-winning films in each category.

This year’s judges are stunt performer/actress Tamiko Brownlee, filmmaker Steve Desmond (whose 2016 entry, Monsters, won the Best Horror film category and the Judges’ Choice award), and actor/writer Ted Raimi.
