Science meets Fiction
In partnership with Focus Film Theater, I curated a series of four captivating evenings that explored the intersection of film, science, and fiction. Throughout the evenings held in October 2022, we showcased a selection of science fiction films, including “The Martian,” “Interstellar,” “Inner Telescope,” and “E.T.” We also engaged in enlightening discussions with prominent figures from the realms of science and art, such as Professor Anna Watts, Dr. Wieger Wamelink, Marc Heemskerk, Anna Sitnikova, George van Hal, and Virgile Novarina. Together, we delved into the intriguing question of when and where fiction and science converge within these cinematic narratives.
If you share a passion for the fascinating realm where science and fiction meet, are interested in exploring the role of imagination in the context of space science, or would like to explore the possibilities of organizing a science fiction lecture or film program, please don’t hesitate to get in touch with us.
