IKARIE XB-1 AND LOGAN'S RUN

IKARIE XB-1 AND LOGAN'S RUN


Ikarie XB-1 is one of the most famous and well-regarded science fiction films to come out of the Czech Republic directed by Jindřich PoláK. Due to its inventive visual style and artistic approach Ikarie XB-1 became an instant classic and went on to gain a cult following. Show casing at the Trieste Science Fiction Festival in 1963 it was an instant hit and is now widely regarded as one of the best Eastern Bloc science fiction films of an era.



Next up is LOGAN’S RUN directed by Michael Anderson it focused more on the societal changes if there where no longer humans in charge set in 2274, a utopia run by computers that takes care of all aspects of human life, from reproduction to death. The citizens live hedonistic lifestyles but understand that in order to maintain the city; every resident when they reach the age of 30 it all must end.

With the usual free popcorn and rum.
