by Carole A. Lane on July 18th, 2007

Comic-Con Logo Next week, Comic-Con International will again host an Indie Film Festival (CCI:IFF), with 55 films showing between Thursday morning and Sunday afternoon. Featured genres include action/adventure, animation, comics-oriented, documentary, horror/suspense, humor/parody, and science fiction/fantasy.

Judges of this year’s entries include Max Allan Collins, Thomas Jane, and Sean Rourke. (Click the links above for their websites, or here to review their distinguished and extensive biographical credits.)

If you’re a fan of comic/fantasy films or indies, but won’t have the chance to attend Comic-Con International this year, at least you’ll now have a list of films to add to your rental list.
