ALIEN CONTACT - Volume 5: New eBook of Sci Fi-Film Fiesta Series


Sci-Fi Film Fiesta
VOLUME 5:
“Alien Contact”


The science fiction films from the 1950s that feature in this volume imaginatively depict what could happen during a time of alien contact in the form of transmission of messages and visitations to the planet earth.

Such films also serve to reflect the kinds of fears that were  prevalent at the time as well as offering commentary concerning the state of human affairs on our own planet. It is interesting to note just how much of this can apply to our own era in the 21st century!

INTO SPACE - NEW EBOOK



Sci-Fi Film Fiesta
Volume 2:
"INTO SPACE"

In this post I’d like to offer the reader another FREE volume from the “Sci-Fi Film Fiesta” eBook series. This second volume is titled, “INTO SPACE” and contains some individual classic films from the golden age of science fiction of the 1950s. These films feature imaginative presentations of humanity’s tentative and often dangerous steps into the great unknown realm of outer space. Let’s hope we never forget that space is in fact an extremely dangerous, unforgiving and potentially lethal place for human beings to be working and living in. If we become complacent and lose respect for the environment of space for which we are unsuited, it can and will kill us.

HERE BE MONSTERS - NEW EBOOK


Sci-Fi Film Fiesta
VOLUME 1:
“HERE BE MONSTERS”


By Chris Christopoulos 2022

The Sci-Fi Film Fiesta blog is being turned into an eBook series featuring science fiction film classics from the 1950s. 

The series will consist of several volumes each featuring particular films consisting of a different theme, genre or aspect of that decade's science fiction film offerings.

 Here, we'll begin with Volume 1, "Here Be Monsters"- Movies featuring classic monsters including of course, monsters of our own making.

This volume is part of a series intended (as in the case of this blog) as a salute to the pioneering work of science fiction film makers from the ‘golden age’ of science fiction films of the 1950s. 

The films in this volume feature monsters that stand as metaphors for the fears of the time when people had genuine concerns about atomic power and the atom bomb’s potential for the first time in human history to bring about the end of human civilization. For instance, in the case of Godzilla (1954) the film is an allegory for the destruction and devastation unleashed on Japan by the atomic bomb, with the 400-foot-tall mutant dinosaur Gojira, serving as the visual metaphor. Such monsters represent forces of nature awakened by human science that once brought into being cannot be controlled.
