12:00 Vintage Tomorrows

VINTAGE TOMORROWS examines steampunk's transformation from those sci-fi beginnings into a global cultural movement that influences art, fashion, design and music.

1:30 Science Fiction in the 21st Century

Science Fiction has developed from having highly similar plots, audiences, and even authors, into a diverse field with international appreciation and ownership. Tour novels and stories featuring characters of all shapes and colors, written by authors of varying ethnicities, nationalities, and genders. Learn how they were received at the time of publication, and see the impact they had on later writers.

2:00 White Scripts and Black Supermen

"Provides a wonderful point of entry, invariably prompting wonderful conversations inside the classroom and beyond. The film pushes us beyond simply recounting this undocumented history but simultaneously complicating the many issues that define this history." - David J. Leonard, Washington State University
