Established in 1969 and based in Johannesburg, Science Fiction and Fantasy South Africa (SFFSA) is a club for fans of both science fiction and fantasy. Membership benefits include monthly meetings, annual mini-conventions, an extensive library, a quarterly Probe fanzine, the Nova short story competition, and much more! International and national members are more than welcome.
Join us for a talk by Admiral Owen Swart of the USS Dauntless NCC-74214 for a talk entitled “The Future that Forgot Itself.”
Afterwards, the movie of the day is Alien: Monday (2024, short film, anime horror). Animated and directed by Paul "OtaKing" Johnson and co-directed by Claudia "Maki" Montealegra, it took six years to animate without AI. This is a tribute to both Ridley Scott's Alien and Classic 80's anime alike.
Admiral Owen Swart is a Star Trek scholar specializing in leadership philosophy and doctrinal analysis. Within STARFLEET International, he serves as the Commanding Officer of the Cape Town chapter (USS Dauntless NCC-74214) and the Regional Coordinator for Africa and the Middle East (Region 8).
