How Star Wars Ruined Educational Films

While the blockbuster Star Wars ignited the imaginations of a whole country and brought science-fiction to popular culture, there was an ugly side to this phenomenon. Science-fiction became a gimmick and educational film producers were quick to adopt anything that would get kids’ attention. The A/V Geeks present a night of educational films that feature sci-fi elements to make their points – often creating a bizarre, muddled mess of a film. Films include – Freedom 2000, Verbstar, Staying Away From Strangers and more! Bring your friends – or your enemies! Door prizes! Suggested donation $5.
