Julie Winningham, our film track head, is excited about everything in her track this year and wanted to share a few of the awesome events. If you are interested in knowing what else will be at Penguicon this year check out all of our programming.
The Smithee Awards
Do you like B-Movies? So do we! Do you find you don’t have the time to sit through all the B-Movies you’d like to watch? Well, you are in luck. We’ve watched a whole bunch of B-Movies over the past year and picked out the best parts to show you. To go one better, we’ve arranged the clips in classic B-Movie categories (Stupidest Looking Monster, Worst Science, etc.) in which YOU get to vote which clip is the best worst clip of its category. With 19 categories and 5 clips per category, it’s an evening of fun and bad cinema entertainment. Come for a category or the whole show. (Clips may contain violence, nudity or strong language, often all at once)
The Walking Dead: A user-friendly guide to the zombie apocalypse
Come join us for an open discussion forum on the success of the “Walking Dead” series as well as its flaws and mistakes. We will go into classic questions of survival during the zombie apocalypse: Where do you go? Where do you get resources? When do you dispatch your neighbor Fred who may or may not be a zombie? We’ll answer all of these questions and more.
Midnight Monster Movies with Dr. Bob
Dr. Bob Tesla returns to Penguicon! Last year, Dr. Bob and Nurse Feratu brought you The Giant Spider! This year, Dr. Bob is bringing more of the cast with him. Together, they will be showing you Christopher R. Mihm’s “It Came From Another World!”
More Than Human Vid Show
Come watch an awesome selection of fanvids (music videos created by fans) in some of your favorite fandoms (like Battlestar Galactica, Pacific Rim, Terminator: The Sarah Conner Chronicles, the Marvel Cinematic Universe, etc.) themed around the con’s unofficial theme of human augmentation!
