Join Space Station Requiem as we take a look at science fiction movies history o n Saturday, October 18th at 8 pm central time. Our journey begins with the silent movie era and "A Trip to the Moon".
While not the first movie, A Trip to the Moon marked a major leap in cinema by demonstrating that film could create entirely invented universes and fantastical stories, moving beyond simply "looking at the world".

Our journey will continue to the first golden age of Science Fiction movies in the 1950's. A period defined by anxieties about the atomic age, technological advances, and the Cold War. This era saw a surge in sci-fi films addressing themes like nuclear fears, alien invasions, and space exploration, and it produced many foundational and classic films in the genre.
