Throughout the evenings held in October 2022, we showcased a selection of science fiction films, including “The Martian,” “Interstellar,” “Inner Telescope,” and “E.T.” We also engaged in enlightening discussions with prominent figures from the realms of science and art, such as Professor Anna Watts, Dr. Wieger Wamelink, Marc Heemskerk, Anna Sitnikova, George van Hal, and Virgile Novarina. Together, we delved into the intriguing question of when and where fiction and science converge within these cinematic narratives.
