Westercon is a regional convention that moves around the western third of North America. I hosted a couple of sets at Westercon 68 in San Diego and another one at Westercon 70 in Tempe; Westercon 71 in Denver expands the Apocalypse Later Roadshow into a third state, Colorado. I always try to avoid repeating films within the same market. Usually that means a combination of the same genre and town, like science fiction/fantasy in the Phoenix metropolitan area. As I've only done two Westercons and I've never screened anything in Colorado, that left me wide open for choice. I went for two sf/f sets and one steampunk set. Westercon 71 was also Myths and Legends Con or MALCon 5. As many myths and legends involve quests, my first sf/f set was themed around people searching for things, albeit very different things. Two films in this set are new to the Roadshow, coincidentally the Best Sci-Fi Short from the International Horror & Sci-Fi Film Festival last year and the year before. The steampunk set was made up entirely of films I've screened before at steampunk conventions, though I aimed it at being a varied selection to highlight how diverse the genre really is. For my second sf/f set, I went all out for variety. I've only screened ne of the six films in the Roadshow before and that was only a week earlier at LepreCon 44. Four of the other five were sourced from my full film festival's line-up last year, with the exception being my favourite from this year's IHSFFF sci-fi sets. |
