This 8-week series of films highlights the dramatic possibilities of altered time and space. In conjunction with the QM’s exhibit, Mundos Alternos, we will explore not only traditional sci-fi, but “alternate worlds” whose characters interact with the supernatural.
Each film is introduced by Mark Ethan Toporek, who also leads a post-screening discussion. He is a member of the Actors Studio, who has appeared in films including The Secret Lives of Dentists, The Confession and Lesser Prophets. He has been presenting the Film Series at the Queens Museum since 1998, and at Manhattan’s 92Y since 2003.
