NEXT EVENT: SOCIAL and MOVIE
Due to the expected cold weather this weekend, the September social meeting of SFFSA will be a soup & rolls on Saturday the 21st at 14h45 for 15h00 at Gail's home. Soup will be provided, but some may bring rolls. While this runs the risk of no one bringing any rolls, or everyone bringing a dozen each, we trust that it will work out somehow. Please also bring your own mug.
After the soup and socialising, we will watch "The Princess Bride". This is the story of a swashbuckling farmhand named Westley, accompanied by companions befriended along the way, who must rescue his true love Princess Buttercup from the odious Prince Humperdinck. And let's not forget the DREAD pirate ROBERTS... The film preserves the novel's metafictional narrative style by presenting the story as a book being read by a grandfather to his grandson.
We are also looking for committee volunteers to help us run and manage this wonderful club. Please contact Carla at chairman@sffsa.org.za for details.
For any further information contact Carla.

ONLINE SURVEY REQUEST
Rhianna Morse is doing doctoral research at Brunel London University in the topic of Film and Television Studies. Her research is titled Windows of Fantasy: The Significance of Science Fiction and Fantasy Film and Television Posters. The aim of the research is to explore the significance of science fiction and fantasy posters for individuals and groups as a source of cultural significance and meaning. This could help generate a better appreciation of what posters really mean to their owners. As part of this, she is searching for adults (18-80) owning science-fiction and fantasy poster(s) who could participate in her research project by completing an online survey. Would you be willing and able to help? More information and the link to the Online Survey can be found on her PhD Study WebsiteTop Bottom
