The British are coming! The British are coming! The British are coming to Minnesota!
Brit Con is the only three day event of its kind dedicated to celebrate BRITISH Science-Fiction, Fantasy & Folklore in
Movies, Media & Literature
exclusively! It's held near Minneapolis, MN (not in the UK!) by a clever bunch of Yanks who are active
in the Twin Cities' Science-Fiction & Fantasy community.
We'll have presentations & panel discussions
on a broad range of SF&F topics in British media and literature,
complemented by a
video room screening the rarely-seen and fondly-remembered. A masquerade,
vendor room and those ubiquitous parties round out the things you
can enjoy at Brit Con. Plus a few surprises...
Our interests range from Hammer Horror to Harry Potter
EM>; Thunderbirds to Torchwood;
Primeval to The Prisoner;
J.R.R. Tolkien and
C.S. Lewis' Mythopoeic to Alan Moore and
Neil Gaiman's more modernistic works; Folklore spanning
Classic (King Arthur from mythology to Monty Python,
and Robin Hood) to Contemporary
(the spy-fi of James Bond and Harry Palmer in f
ilm, Spooks/MI-5 and The Avengers on the telly,
with Danger Man & Danger Mouse for good
measure along with the many incarnations of Sherlock Holmes
and, of course, Dr. Who) and so much more from "across
the pond"!
YOU'LL BE GOBSMACKED BY THE JOLLY GOOD TIME YOU'LL HAVE!
