Items related to Future Imperfect: Science Fiction Film
The science fiction film is one of the most popular film genres and has featured some of the most powerful images in the history of the cinema. These filmed visions of technology, spectacular future worlds, and extra-terrestrial encounters have negotiated questions of human identity, social visions, and collective fears. This potent mixture explains the attraction of the genre and lends the films their contemporary relevance. This volume, published on the occasion of a retrospective at the Berlin International Film Festival, presents essays by contributors from around the world. Taking the long American tradition and the particularities of the genre as a point of departure, the essays explore the heyday of East European science fiction film, the place of the science fiction film in German film history, and the positioning of the European auteur film in relation to the genre.
