Science Fiction Short Films: A Look at the Future

From Faux to Abstraction

Marv Zelkowitz

Science fiction films are a big business. The various Star Wars and Star Trek sequels and spinoffs are popular noisy adventures, as our heroes blast through space fighting aliens and malevolent robots and confronting all-around evil. They are thrilling sagas to watch. But there is a serious side to science fiction. Good science fiction tries to answer “what if” questions: What if robots had intelligence? What sort of personality would they develop? What if superheroes existed and they shocked and unsettled people? What sort of laws would be passed to govern them? Through a series of short films (8-10 minutes), we will view several amusing stories that address some of these questions. ➤ Monday, October 5, 7pm

Back From The Light: Documentary Screening and Live Discussion Robert Neal Marshall

What would you do if a loved one died… then came back to talk about it? Have you dealt with a near death experience, either personally or as the loved one, family or friend of someone who has been on that journey? Lives are changed irreversibly by surviving such a traumatic event. Back From The Light is a documentary that addresses understanding and coping with these deeply personal changes for all involved. Join director and near-death survivor Robert Neal Marshall for a screening of his film, followed by an intimate conversation and Q&A.

Kelly Walker

Artist Kelly Walker discusses her action-packed, explosively colorful painting techniques in “Faux to Abstraction.” Walker is originally from Evansville, Indiana, and is now happily Baltimore-based. She is a profound talent — an “Artstar” — who makes a living producing artwork that is irrepressibly visible and magnetically embraced. Her work is imbued with a captivating, kinetic quality. Though inspired by visual artists like Warhol, Modigliani, Basquiat, Banksy and many others, Walker is an original. Matters of her mastery of commercial painting, as well as painting framed as fine art, will be part and parcel of this inspiring presentation. Her lecture will no doubt touch all who attend in an equal, soul-satisfying fashion. ➤ Saturday, December 1, 7pm

Psychedelic Folk: Miles Gannett and Sean P. Finn

Miles Gannett is a singer-songwriter/guitarist who has been writing and performing music since his singledigit years. Most recently, Miles founded and leads the psychedelic rock band Fractal Cat, which has released three albums of all-original material since 2012. His songs often include mystical themes and whimsical chord progressions. Miles will be accompanied by multi-instrumentalist Sean P. Finn on violin, trumpet and French horn. Sean and Miles perform together in Fractal Cat, as well as the psychedelic folk/country/ bluegrass group The Shroom Pickers. Admission: $10 fundraiser for Little Patuxent Review
