WHEN SCIFI WAS SILENT
A CELLULOID MOON
8:30 - 10PM
FEAT: PANEL DISCUSSION
A CELLULOID MOON is a celebration of early cinema when science fiction energized so much of the creative output. This new medium was rife for the exploration of fantastical ideas like space travel and technology and pioneers like Georges Méliès created special effects that still wow us today. We will watch a curated selection of favorite and rare early films and then delve into this rich topic with a panel of great thinkers and film experts moderated by Creative Director Richard Lovrich.
