  • The Asylum 2015
    The Asylum VII 2015 Official Programme INFORMATION! Entries for the Great Exhibition should be submitted to the Assembly Rooms between 10am and 11am Saturday morning. Registration for the Costume Parade should be submitted in writing to the Assembly Rooms before 12 noon on Saturday. Last minute registration for Tea Duelling is open at the Assembly Rooms before 11.30am Saturday. Do not attempt to feed the dragon. WEEKEND AT THE ASYLUM VII, 2015 Seven years ago our toils in the lab were reaching fruition. Long hours of labour gathering resources, preparing the parts, stitching them together and laying them out ready meant that when we threw the switch it lived! Weekend at the Asylum was born and had a life of its own. People had travelled great distances to be part of this creature. It certainly looked like we had created a monster beyond our understanding yet even so we have persisted. 2015 and the good news is the locals are not running us out of town with pitchforks and flaming torches (although that would make a tremendous evening feature - perhaps next year). Indeed the level of support we are getting from Lincoln grows year on year just as the event itself grows. This year we are a whole day longer, have more space overall and many more features. The monster not only lives it thrives. Who knows what it will become. Thank you for your support of the event. Without you buying your wristbands there would be no Weekend at the Asylum. You make it possible. We are just the mad scientists toiling in the lab..

  • Org Ayuntamiento
    Desde hace ya cinco años, Madrid cuenta con un Festival Internacional de Documentales que atrae a un gran número de espectadores y es, a la vez, foro y lugar de encuentro para los profesionales del género. Un género, el cine de no ficción, que abarca una enorme variedad de propuestas, desde las puramente estéticas e innovadoras, hasta las que promueven enfoques de mayor calado, que evidencian las más variadas realidades sociales, culturales, artísticas o medioambientales. 6 En su edición de 2008, y como ya es habitual, Documenta tiene su principal foco de interés en su Sección Oficial. En ella, junto a las proyecciones de películas en sus dos formatos, corto y largometraje, en los que prima la originalidad, habrá un concurso de reportajes, que valorará especialmente el tratamiento y la presencia de la actualidad. Pero, además, el festival se nutrirá de sus siempre enriquecedoras secciones informativas. En ellas, destaca el homenaje a la figura de Michelangelo Antonioni, el enigmático cineasta, escritor y pintor italiano, célebre autor de la trilogía La aventura, La noche y El eclipse, que tanto dio que hablar a los cinéfilos españoles a comienzos de los sesenta, y sorprendente creador, más tarde, de Blow-up. Antonioni fue un gran innovador del cine y cultivó el género documental, a pesar de que su obra en este campo es prácticamente desconocida. Para tratar de rescatar del olvido esta valiosa faceta, se proyectarán algunos de sus trabajos. Muy vinculado a la mejor etapa de Antonioni, se ha programado también otro ciclo retrospectivo, Recuerdos del 68, con películas que evocarán los movimientos sociales y políticos del período, así como los sucesos de Mayo del 68 en París, coincidiendo con su 40 aniversario.

Do I limp around the house and chant,“These damn kids don’t read and write anymore? They watch movies and play video games that they then make into movies. They have forsaken the world of science fiction for the world of fantasy and horror?” I do not. It is a fact that I am more at ease with change than many people a quarter my age. I also realize that what I think doesn’t amount to a hill of beans in this crazy world. Read, write, watch and enjoy whatever it is that stokes your passion. I finally gave up mucking around for an answer. Decided to just let it be. To apprecite and study. I just read and enjoyed the thirteen Lancelot Biggs stories written from 1940 until 1945 in Amazing Stories, Fantastic Stories, and Weird Tales by Nelson S. Bond. Next, who knows, I might even begin a story that was written after I was born. I thought you all should know as President of Parsec and co-editor of Sigma, I am not against printing articles about present-day science fiction. I hope that someone will take it as a challenge and write something for the Parsec newsletter.
