Robot Panic Apocalypse - The Science of (Short) Fiction
NEW COMMUNITIES
Date: Saturday, 28 May 2011, 8.30 p.m.
Place:Planetarium Wien
There is hardly a genre in the field of short films that has been celebrated as much and so frequently varied as science fiction. The stylistic bandwidth is enormous, from nifty, brightly polished robot thrillers over dirty fantasies of world destruction to absurd-sarcastic animation experiments almost anything goes – and proves continuously popular with a large community. Taking Blomkamp’s Alive in Joburg and Alvarez’s Panic Atack as its starting point, this programme leads the way into an uncertain future that isn’t only written in the stars at the Planetarium…
Curated and hosted by Daniel Ebner (VIS).
