Do you like true speculative stories? Are names like Niven, Asimov, Clarke, Heinlein and of course Dick (giggle) familiar to your eyes and ears?
Then boy, do we have an event for you! A “hard core” SF injection to warm your heart… before winter brings you to your knees. And a chance to mingle with others in the industry…!
Hear ye, hear ye:
The 4th Annual Philip K. Dick Science Fiction Film Festival erupts in New York City from Jan. 13 to 17 (in other words, coming darned soon) – complete with 80 movies from creators from more than 20 countries.
Most of the movies will be shown at Village East Cinema, 189 2nd Ave., with some films and related events held at Lovecraft Bar, 50 Avenue B, at Avenue B and East 4th St. (Yep, that’s right. Lovecraft Bar.)
In fact, the festival’s opening reception and “Blade Runner Party” will be Jan. 13 from 7 p.m. to midnight at Lovecraft.
This exciting event will feature the “world premiere” (actually you can see it here) of actress Joanna Cassidy — Zhora in the 1982 movie “Blade Runner” — performing a snake dance (according to the festival website.) “The feature films will be accompanied by a series of shorts, panel discussions and ‘Q&A’ sessions with filmmakers, all grouped according to theme or format, such as documentaries or animation.”
Tickets can be purchased on the easy-to-use festival website at $20 per movie, all-access day passes for $35 or four-day passes for $100.
