In advance of its major fall series, Science Fiction Against the Margins, presented as part of the Getty’s region-wide initiative, PST ART: Art & Science Collide, the Archive is pleased to whet your appetite with a selection of independent films that have helped to push the science fiction genre into new frontiers. While these films represent a wide range of visual styles and thematic concerns, from cult classics to recent masterpieces, they are connected in a shared ethos that low budgets aren’t anathema to expansive visions.
