About The Philip K. Dick Science Fiction Film Festival:<\/strong>
\nThe Philip K. Dick Science Fiction Film Festival is the first of its kind to grace the screens of New York City and is organized by filmmakers who understand the\u00a0difficulties and challenges of telling a unique story in a corporate environment. The inaugural festival from December 7-9, 2012 drew record crowds of over\u00a01,000 participants for the exclusive screening of Radio Free Albemuth which was based on Dick’s 1985 novel posthumously published three years after his\u00a0death. The Lille, France event from October 25-27, 2013 screened celebrated international films and enjoyed much success in the first of many global outings.\u00a0The festival continues to hold seasonal gatherings across the city and will also pioneer a Spring 2014 cyberpunk festival in Tokyo and the Blade Runner\u00a0Retrospective at the Museum of Moving Image in Astoria, New York. The mission of the festival is to uphold the stature of original voices and visions in works\u00a0submitted and recognize the phenomenal themes of Philip K. Dick. Lastly, this is a festival by filmmakers for filmmakers.<\/p>\n

About Philip K. Dick:
\n<\/strong>“Reality is whatever refuses to go away when I stop believing in it.” – Philip K. Dick
\nPhilip K. Dick (1928-1982) was one of the 20th century’s most profound novelists and writers within the science fiction community. His exploration, analysis and\u00a0beliefs led to the publishings of 44 novels and 121 short stories. Dick’s enormous library of works led to several film developments including Blade Runner\u00a0(1982), Total Recall (1990), Minority Report (2002), Paycheck (2003) and most recently Radio Free Albemuth (2010), The Adjustment Bureau (2011) and the\u00a0successful remake of Total Recall (2012). The film industry is also awaiting the release of King of the Elves in 2014, which will surely be yet another prosperous\u00a0depiction of Dick’s literary contribution to science fiction. Dick’s enormously effective views comprised of fictional universes, virtual realities and human mutation\u00a0foresaw an exaggerated version of the current state of government and contemporary life. Though he is gone in the physical form his philosophies live on in the\u00a0techniques applied to modern stories and films and generate large displays of appreciation and understanding.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
