FINDING THE FUTURE:   A Science Fiction Conversation

Anomalous Entertainment is pleased to announce a festival screening of their feature-length documentary, Finding The Future:  A Science Fiction Conversation, which is an official selection of the 2004 New York Independent Film and Video Festival.

Shot against the backdrop of several major science fiction conventions, including the Chicago and San Jose Worldcons, Finding the Future examines how science fiction has impacted our society and how society’s resultant evolution has pushed the boundaries of science fiction ever farther “out there.”   Through the thoughtful commentary of prominent authors and enthusiastic fans, we explore the culture of science fiction and the passion of its devotees for the genre.

Finding the Future features conversations with Ben Bova, Joan Slonczewski, Bob Eggleton, Robert Silverberg, Fred Saberhagen, David Brin, Lois McMaster Bujold, Roger Christian, Forrest Ackerman, Cory Doctorow, Catherine Asaro, Jody Lynn Nye, Jack L. Chalker, Mike Resnick, John DeChancie, James Glass, and many others.   Also featuring art by Martina Pilcerova, Robert Ross, Alan Gutierrez, Larry Vela, and Frank Lurz.   And, filk songs by Leslie Fish.

Finding the Future will be screened at the following location and time:
Date:   Sunday, May 2, 2004
Time:   2:00 pm
Place:   Village East Cinema, 181 2nd Avenue at 12th Street, New York, NY 10003

Keep an eye out for future presentations of this film elsewhere and elsewhen.
