Thanks to everyone who participated and submitted entries for our First Annual BayCon Film Festival (FilmFest One)—a dynamic celebration of speculative fiction on the big screen. Under the expert direction of Sinohui Hinojosa, renowned for his work with Cinequest and the San Jose Short Film Festival, the festival had a captivating lineup of films that push the boundaries of imagination.

We look forward to bring you news regarding the future of film festivals at BayCon!

The ultimate late-night screening experience at BayCon’s Midnight Madness film revue. Held every night on the Chaos Stage around midnight, this series is dedicated to cult classics that have defined generations of speculative fiction. From gritty action and surreal narratives to quirky humor and boundary-pushing visuals, Midnight Madness is your passport to a world of films that continue to inspire and entertain.

Stay up until the wee hours of the morning with us as we laugh and scream in a shared experience with those who’ve seen it all before, and some watching for the very first time!

Then, good luck getting to your panels in the morning…

Last year, we delighted audiences with screenings of timeless favorites like Night of the Comet, and Rocky Horror Picture Show. While the schedule for this year’s Midnight Madness is still being finalized, you can be assured that our tradition of showcasing cult classics will continue. Stay tuned for updates as we prepare a lineup that will keep you coming back for more, night after night.
