  • About the Away Mission (Formerly Vulcan Events) the Away
    About The Away Mission (formerly Vulcan Events) The Away Mission is focused on putting on great events for the fans, producing intimate conventions offering refreshing alternatives to other convention styles that offer one long line after another. Drawing on more than 30 years of industry experience, the Away Mission brings trust and confidence back to the small-convention market. www.away-mission.com ### About the Celebrity Guests William Shatner is a Canadian actor, author, film director, spokesman and comedian. He gained worldwide fame and became a cultural icon for his portrayal of Captain James Tiberius Kirk, commander of the Federation starship USS Enterprise. He has written a series of books chronicling his experiences playing Captain Kirk and being a part of Star Trek, and has co- written several novels set in the Star Trek universe. Shatner also played the veteran police sergeant in T. J. Hooker from 1982 to 1986. From 2004 to 2008, he starred as attorney Denny Crane in the television dramas The Practice and its spin-off Boston Legal, for which he won two Emmy Awards and a Golden Globe Award. Since then he is busier than ever producing and directing two documentaries, making several guest TV appearances, and releasing the non-fiction book "Shatner Rules" which is the basis of his one man show which he performs in select cities around the country. Alice Eve is best known by Star Trek fans as Dr. Carol Marcus, Kirk’s love interest and the newest member of the Enterprise crew, in the new Star Trek hit "Into Darkness." Before Star Trek, she was already warming her way to nerd hearts everywhere with the female lead role in the romantic comedy film "She's Out of My League".

But finding true freedom within our communities, within our families and within ourselves is no easy task. Nor is it easy to reconcile our own freedom with the political, religious and cultural freedoms of others. Happily, the conflict created by our search for freedom makes for great theatre... Shakespeare’s The Tempest, in which I’m delighted to direct Martha Henry, is a play about the yearning to be released from CLASSICCLASSI FILMS imprisonment, as revenge and forgiveness vie OscarWildeCinema.com TM for the upper hand in Prospero’s heart. Erin Shields’s exciting new interpretation of Milton’s Paradise Lost takes an ultra- contemporary look at humanity’s age-old desire for free will – and the consequences of acting on it. I’m very proud that we have the internationally renowned Robert Lepage with us directing Shakespeare’s Coriolanus, a play about early Roman democracy. It is as important to understanding the current state of our democratic institutions as is Shakespeare’s play about the end of the Roman Republic, Julius Caesar. Recent events have underlined the need for the iconic story To Kill a Mockingbird to be told, as a powerful reminder that there can be no freedom without justice.

    Note to Parents Anime Parents, please be advised that there are a lim- ited number of movies in the Anime Progam which are appropriate for children under 12. Please take note of the ratings listed next to the movies. A document explaining the ratings will be posted on the Anime Room Door. Parents are strongly encouraged to take these ratings as a guide for what might or might not be inappropriate for their children to watch. In general, children under 14 should not be in the Anime Room room between 10 PM and 5 AM, but everything in the middle of the day should be ok for ages 14 and up. Children under 13 should be accompanied by a parent or guard- ian. We recommend that parents of teens sit and view a portion of an “MA” rated movie to decide if it is something they want their teen to view. Film Festival All of the entries being screened in the film festival up to 9:30 pm are what the selection committee estimated would be considered “G” or “PG” if they were rated. Entries screening after 9:40 pm range from estimated “G” to “R” rated, thus some movies screening after 9:40 pm may not be appropriate for children under 17 who are not accompanied by a par- ent or guardian.

    PRAISE FOR JOHN MANTOOTH “John Mantooth writes with enviable grace, vigour, ease. These stories pulsate with the inevitable pain of familial love, and loss, and the horrors of the human condition while remaining peopled with unforgettable characters who move through their lives toward moments of personal realization and doom that can only come from the Southern experience. Mantooth has here collected a group of stories that exceeds the sum of its parts. You won’t regret picking up this collection and will think on these amazing and heartfelt stories long after you’ve closed the covers. Absolutely brilliant.” —John Hornor Jacobs, author of Southern Gods, This Dark Earth, and The Twelve Fingered Boy “The stories in John Mantooth’s powerful debut collection turn a blazing spotlight on those living at—and beyond—society’s margins. In sinuous, elegant prose, Mantooth maps the journeys that have led his characters to dead-ends and disappointments. Mantooth spares his characters nothing, including sufficient self- awareness to understand their roles in their personal catastrophes. These characters grieve their griefs on universal bones, and when they stumble onto hope, it is a small, tough thing that promises no miracles, only the possibility that life tomorrow will be a little better than it was today. This is impressive, assured work, not to be missed.” —John Langan, author of Technicolor and Other Revelations “John Mantooth’s short stories crackle with intelligence and vio- lence. He writes about desperate and simple lives gone not-so-sim- ple, and those lives beat with a savvy and familiar broken heart.

  • Warehouse 13 (2009) Avventure in Bilico Fra Reale E Sovrannaturale
    Warehouse 13 (2009) Avventure in bilico fra reale e sovrannaturale. Un film di Jace Alexander, Vincent Misiano, Stephen Surjik, Michael W. Watkins con Eddie McClintock, Joanne Kelly, Saul Rubinek, Genelle Williams, Simon Reynolds, Allison Scagliotti, CCH Pounder, Roger Rees, Jung-Yul Kim, Kaley Cuoco. Genere Fantascienza Produzione USA 2009. Due agenti dei servizi segreti indagano su strani eventi che coinvolgono oggetti con poteri soprannaturali che potrebbero mettere in pericolo il mondo. Mattia Nicoletti - www.mymovies.it Myka Bering e Pete Lattimer sono due agenti segreti statunitensi assegnati al Warehouse 13, un deposito governativo gestito dal Dr. Arthur Nielsen in cui vengono conservati oggetti di natura soprannaturale considerati pericolosi per l'umanità. I due agenti hanno infatti il compito di trovare e recuperare vecchi e nuovi oggetti per riportarli al Warehouse 13. Sono diversi gli eredi di 'X-files', ma i più convincenti sono 'Fringe' e 'Warehouse 13'. Per certi versi le due serie si somigliano. Entrambe hanno personaggi in perfetto parallelo. La differenza è che 'Warehouse 13' gioca con la leggenda, la mitologia, la storia e il soprannaturale. È la forza iconografica degli oggetti a coinvolgere il pubblico proprio perché spesso appartenuti a grandi artisti, scienziati e inventori. Se infatti la struttura autoconclusiva dell'episodio e il gioco delle diversità dei singoli personaggi non sono innovative, 'Warehouse 13' induce al sogno (o all'incubo) e alla curiosità di sapere qualcosa di più sugli oggetti protagonisti. Ogni puntata è un viaggio nel tempo vicino o lontano, elemento che fin dalla "macchina" di H.G Wells ha affascinato generazioni. È un atto d'amore per un'avventura in bilico fra reale e soprannaturale, in cui ognuno vorrebbe immergersi almeno una volta nella vita.
