A Festival of Sci-Fi (bonus episode!)

  • Summary

  • This is a bonus episode of Science Fiction 101, in which we abandon our quizzes and throw our past/present/future items out the window, and just give you a straightforward interview. It's all about staging a science fiction film festival!

    Our guest is Russ Repp, who is responsible for the mammoth, eight-week, science fiction film festival currently happening in Portland, Oregon, in the city's remarkable OMSI (Oregon Museum of Science and Industry).

    Russ talks us through the history of the festival, and lets us in on the secrets of how a sci-fi film festival is programmed.

    Full information on the OMSI Science Fiction Festival (which continues until late May 2024) can be found here: https://omsi.edu/exhibits/sci-fi-film-fest/

    Even if - like Phil - you're nowhere near Oregon, this is still a fascinating tale of how a festival is put together.

    Next episode, we'll be back to our usual format, but we hope you enjoy this little bonus!
