NYC | Europe | Sci-Fi Film Festival honoring the legacy of Philip K. Dick since 2012. Our next festival begins March 13-14, 2026

POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

Ich bin seit meiner Kindheit Fan von Retro-Science-Fiction. Damals hieß das natürlich noch nicht „Retro“, sondern einfach Science-Fiction. Retro wurde es erst später, ungefähr gleichzeitig mit mir.

Unter all den Autoren jener Zeit ist Philip K. Dick etwas Besonderes. Bei ihm geht es selten um strahlende Helden, die in hautengen Einteilern gemeinsam zu den Sternen fliegen. Seine Figuren sind normale Menschen mit Ängsten, Neurosen, Beziehungsproblemen und Zweifeln an der Wirklichkeit. Nur dass zusätzlich Androiden, Mutanten, rückwärtslaufende Zeit und Türen auftauchen können, die Geld verlangen, bevor sie sich öffnen.

Dicks zentrale Fragen sind bis heute aktuell: Was ist real? Was macht einen Menschen zum Menschen? Und wem kann man überhaupt noch trauen?

Mit „Unbezahlbare Artefakte – Eine Philip K. Dick Bibliographie: Deutsche Ausgaben 1958–2026“ haben Jens-Christoph Nolte, Henri Wintz und David Hyde nun ein monumentales Buch über die deutsche Publikationsgeschichte des Autors vorgelegt.
Bibliographie klingt zunächst trocken. Ist es hier aber nicht. Das Buch dokumentiert Ausgaben, Übersetzungen, Kürzungen, Leihbücher, Heftromane, Cover und bibliophile Besonderheiten und zeigt nebenbei, wie sich Philip K. Dick in Deutschland vom vermeintlichen Groschenheft-Autor zum literarischen Klassiker entwickelte, dessen Geschichten auch ins Kino kamen: Stichwort: „Blade Runner“.

Besonders beeindruckend: Jens-Christoph Nolte arbeitete rund 20 Jahre an seinem Katalog, der in das Buch eingeflossen ist. Selbst heute tauchen noch obskure Veröffentlichungen auf. „Aber genau das macht das Sammeln ja aus“, sagt er.

Und natürlich die alten Cover: Dick schreibt über Realität, Identität und Manipulation. Der Verlag sagt trotzdem: Raumschiff.

Ein Standardwerk für Dick-Fans, Sammler und alle, die sich für die Geschichte der deutschen Science-Fiction interessieren.

Ausführlicher werdet ihr hierzu bei Facebook informiert und weiterführende Infos findet ihr im ersten Kommentar zu diesem Beitrag.

Morning Patrol (1986), dir. Nikos Nikolaidis.

Greek art film/post-apocalyptic noir that completely fucks with you in being familiarly strange and strangely familiar.

The characters think in voiceover monologues appropriated (and credited, but surely unauthorized) from Philip K. Dick, Raymond Chandler, Daphne Du Maurier & Herman Raucher, the screenwriter of Summer of '42.

As with so many post-apocalyptic texts, there is an unsafe wilderness bounding a sanctuary city. In the city people still can live in homes and even decorate Christmas trees. Yet the price of being "inside the safety zone" seems to entail being a member of the murderous and paranoid "Morning Patrol", who have a one-a-day quota for offing the Clockwork Orange-ish wildlings who roam the zone.

The protagonist is a feral outsider who penetrates the city and is raped (in a movie theater, having lowered her guard by becoming entranced in watching Rita Hayworth sing "Put the Blame on Mame" in Gilda; the city features many screens and televisions playing many classic movies including The Man With the Golden Arm and The Big Combo).

She then kidnaps a member of the Morning Patrol by stealing the essential medicines that keep him alive... and they begin an amnesiac romance and mutual death pact, trying to again exit the city...

The method -- using alienated and ruined present-day locations to stand in for the future -- recalls Alphaville, THX-1138, and Repo Man -- but the vibe most nearly resembles Stalker (for the absence of sophisticated technologies) and Blade Runner (all that steam and Vangelis-style synthesizer in the score).

Object of pure mystery, in total.

BIG NEWS: my feature script THE BOY WHO FOUND INFINITY -- winner of last year's @philipkdickfest sci-fi screenplay -- is a finalist at this year's @filmquest !!! SO EXCITING. Thank you to the judges for selecting me 🔥🔥🔥🔥

I'd love to make it out to Provo, Utah, this year (after missing @soulmate_film playing out of competition last year). They have a film market starting for 2026, so that feels like a great way to introduce my film to some important people. The more exposure TBWFI gets the more I feel like it's gonna happen 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻 Momentum is absolutely EVERYTHING in this industry.

Here's the story: After the death of his mentor grandfather, a 13-year-old boy genius convinces his reckless uncle to help him build a machine to find eternity.

✨ Feeling incredibly grateful for the journey of EUROPA.🚀

This film has continued to find amazing audiences, and I’m so excited to share that EUROPA was an Official Selection at the Long Beach Film Festival 🏆 and recently received awards at both the St. Charles Film Festival and the Philip K. Dick Film Festival. 🤖✨and had the distinct honor of screening at @cufiskeplanetarium as a special screening for this year’s Europa Annual Summit.

Writing and directing this story has been one of the most rewarding creative experiences of my career, and seeing it resonate with audiences and fellow filmmakers is something I’ll never take for granted.

Thank you to every festival programmer, juror, cast member, crew member, and supporter who has believed in this film. Here’s to many more stories—and many more adventures ahead. 🌍🎬💫
