A new regular Sunday feature debuts this week: FANAC’s Fan History Project videos. Fans have always been keen to embrace new technologies, including 8 and 16mm film!
Fanac.org (FAN-ACtivity) has been establishing a quite extensive archive of audio and visual works produced by fandom over the past several years. The Film Program feature (named for a former constant at conventions) will highlight the project’s contents.
This week:
Forrest Ackerman Interview from 1996’s LAConIII, the 54th Worldcon
and
A Mimeo Fanzine Workshop, from 1976’s MidAmeriCon, the 34th Worldcon
Apollo 12, the second lunar landing mission, was snakebit from the outset. The crew’s problems continued with their attempt to raise the American flag on the Moon.
If Poul Anderson can invent a bheer powered spaceship, SF fans can certainly build a bheer can tower to the Moon!
