It Came from the Orson Welles: A Boston SciFi Podcast

12/13/24 • 57 min

Fifty years is a long time. Much has happened. Much has changed. Fifty years ago the Boston Science Fiction Film Festival began at a legendary movie theatre. Later it overcame a fire, an historic blizzard, and a plague. It overcame changing demographics, and rapidly evolving technologies. We have gone from seeing movies only in movie theatre to being able to catch a blockbuster while riding on a bus. Authors Robert Viagas and Harry Lohr, Jr passionately recount their adventure in creating a history of America's longest running genre film festival - The 50th Boston Science Fiction Film Festival & Marathon, Host: Garen Daly
