Whether or not or not you’re a science fiction buff, you’re probably unaware that we now have a famous sci-fi auteur amongst us in Georg Koszulinski, who teaches movie research on the College of Central Florida.
Two of his personal movies, neither of which is of the “Physician X will construct a creature” selection, can be screened at Enzian Theatre at midday this Sunday, Sept. 17.
One, a brief movie dubbed “New Mexico Deathwish Diatribe,” is an imagined, talk-show affair that includes himself and two visitors, each of whom he fills in for: Robert J. Oppenheimer, the so-called “American Prometheus” who developed the atomic bomb, and an alien customer who wonders out loud whether or not humanity is price saving.
The longer movie, “Purple Earth,” imagines a future through which the Earth is a depleted wasteland, Mars has been colonized and mined for valuable sources to reserve it – and its colonists, to be able to save themselves, insurgent towards their dwelling planet.

It’s an inter-planetary civil battle – and in a plot twist which may put you in thoughts of a typical, old-school sci-fi outer-space ray-gun shoot-em-up, the Mars colonists rig one of many planet’s moons up as an enormous projectile and fling it on the earth to debilitate their adversaries.
However don’t let that mislead you. That is no late-night “Conflict of the Worlds” rerun. Like all of Koszolinksi’s works, each movies have the standard of parables about them. “Most of my work over the previous twenty years both immediately or not directly is a thinly-veiled reference to the dehumanization of individuals by way of the method of colonization, and the way that course of makes battle with the mom nation inevitable,” he explains.

In that sense, he’s tapping right into a science fiction custom that goes again to one of many kind’s pioneers: H.G. Wells, who wrote the unique, the literary granddaddy of all of them, that being “The Conflict of the Worlds” within the late 1800s, which was impressed by the catastrophic impact of European colonization of the Aboriginal Tasmanians.
Kosulinski will attend the screening and can be out there for a query and reply session afterwards.
