Archaeology in fantastic films
5. August 2024
Dragons, giants, spaceships, aliens – many fans of fantastic material are world jumpers and are not only enthusiastic about fantasy, mystery or science fiction, but enjoy the whole range. This also applies to the two authors and journalists Reinhard Prahl and Björn Sülter, who ride dragons in joint books, newspaper projects and in their private lives, as well as serving on federation ships or searching for little green men alongside the FBI.
But what is the fascination for the supernatural, for that which goes far beyond normal imagination and the narrow boundaries of reality? What do dragons mean for fantasy, spaceships for science fiction and aliens for mystery? And what connects all these elements and makes them unique in their respective narrative forms? The two want to talk about all this with each other and with their listeners.
