Recently, Entertainment Weekly chatted up "Avengers 2: Age Of Ultron" movie director, Joss Whedon, and he ended up, spilling some new, short spoiler intel for what they have planned. When asked bout it, he had this to say: "It’s our new Frankenstein myth. We create something in our own image and the thing turns on us. It has that pain of ‘Well, why was I made? I want to kill Daddy.'” After that, Joss went on to reference a short story by Ray Bradbury, "The Small Assassin," stating: "I don’t remember seeing an artificial-intelligence movie where the robot is bonker, the most emotionally unstable person in the film, and who has the knowledge of 3,000 years of recorded history and who's a pouty teen, all at the same time.” The new Avengers 2 flick hits theaters on May 1st, 2015.

San Diego’s Comic-Con International is the biggest event in the world devoted to genre pop culture. While the big Hollywood movies get the most mainstream press, there’s also a large, lesser known and promoted Independent Film Festival devoted to genre short films tucked away within the overall convention.
The Cci-iff, as it’s acronymed, runs completely concurrently with the convention with programming running from morning to night that includes films devoted to comic book-inspired movies, horror movies, sci-fi flicks, comedies and documentaries.

The fest also gives out awards. This year’s juror panel includes filmmakers Steven-Charles Jaffee and Kyle Newman, plus entertainment journalist Borys Kit.
Programming blocks are broken up by genre and the full film lineup below gives the exact starting time of each short film. There’s also one feature film screening this year,...
