Science Fiction, Fact and Fancy

Recommended for age 5 and older. A collection of intriguing science fiction and high technology films. In Hardware Wars, a zany satire of Star Wars, the rocket ships look suspiciously like household appliances. Starborne uses computer graphics and unique sound-generated visual effects to tell the space fantasy of a boy and girl who must crash land on an uncharted star. Plus Méliès' fanciful A Trip to the Moon; a cosmic zoom out to the galaxies in Powers of 10; and Ballet Robotique, a look at robots working on an automobile assembly line.
