January 17, 2018<\/b> \u2014 We have film down to a science at <b>The 2018 Philip K. Dick Science Fiction Film Festival<\/b>, which announced today the <a href=\"http:\/\/thephilipkdickfilmfestival.com\/program.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">full lineup<\/a> of critically acclaimed films, exclusive premieres, panel discussions and virtual reality installations. The electrifying sixth annual event will feature appearances by show business heavyweights <b>Armand Assante<\/b>, <b>Charles Baker<\/b>, <b>Vincent Pastore<\/b>, <b>Tom Sizemore<\/b>, <b>Melvin Van Peebles<\/b>, <b>Chuck Zito<\/b> and more special guests. Screening in the boroughs of Manhattan and Queens, the festival will run from <b>February 23-25, 2018<\/b>.<\/p>\n<p>This year&#8217;s festival has expanded its tribute to the father of science fiction, <b>Philip K. Dick<\/b> by broadening its scope of official selections. &#8220;Every year our films cover different themes of the PKD spectrum,&#8221; said Daniel Abella, the founder and director of the festival. &#8220;This event focuses heavily on inner worlds, transhuman realities and other types of films including speculative fiction, magical realism and surrealism. Just like PKD, we are very eclectic in our thinking and do not subscribe to one single unitary form of entertainment.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The festival will feature appearances by numerous award-winning actors, filmmakers, scientists and innovators who are among the most successful individuals in the entertainment, medical and technology industries. &#8220;Real human exchange between \u200bthe stars and the audience is a wonderful experience going back to classical Greece,&#8221; said Abella. &#8220;We are social creatures and need to be with others to find communion and transcendence.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Abella added that the festival&#8217;s mission to represent society&#8217;s issues stands for the work and views of its namesake. &#8220;PKD was a modern-day prophet who foresaw the collapse of humanity under the colossal weight of data, technology and ecological devastation,&#8221; he said. &#8220;Narrative themes in these films are more effective in shaping popular thinking than a new review or manifesto. In our own modest way, the festival represents a resistance against monolithic hypercaptialism and rapacious technology. Think of it as technology with a soul.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The 2018 Philip K.
