WHERE IMAGINATION LANDS

Now in its 3rd year, Outer Rim Festival is Baltimore’s home for science fiction film. Born from the Miami International Science Fiction Film Festival and built for dreamers, makers, and anyone who’s ever looked at the stars and wondered “what if?”
We bring you never-before-seen films from creators across the galaxy (and your own backyard), then put you in the room with the people who made them. No velvet ropes. Just stories, ideas, and a community that gets it.
This isn’t just a film festival. It’s a transmission from the future, and you’re invited!
