RADIO FREE ALBEMUTH MAKES TOP 10 NEWS LIST FOR GNOSTIC INTERNATIONAL TRIBUNAL (GIT)

VOTE NOW to make RADIO FREE ALBEMUTH the NUMBER ONE GNOSTIC STORY OF 2010.

“Philip K. Dick’s Radio Free Albemuth is released as a movie. Dick’s semiautobiographical novel was published posthumously in 1985. Dick never released this work because of frustration with his publisher, instead injecting its mystic themes in his exalted Gnostic Valis Trilogy. Set in an alternative reality where an alien, godlike presence attempts to aid humanity in overthrowing a fascist America and its own godlike ruler, Radio Free Albemuth could soon join the hallowed pantheon of Dick novels adapted to the big screen such as Bladerunner, Total Recall,Minority Report, Paycheck, and several others.”

“One of the Festivals Big Hits” — Report on Sydney Fantastic Planet Film Festival

“Australia’s Best Movie Magazine”

“The ultra cerebral US-production Radio Free Albemuth was one of the festival’s big hits, winning the Director’s Choice Best Feature award for filmmaker John Alan Simon. Based on the novel of the same name by sci-fi master Philip K. Dick – composer of the tales that became Blade Runner, Minority Report and Total Recall – Radio Free Albemuth made its international premiere at Fantastic Planet, while Robert Rodriguez’s Machete made its Australian debut. These were just two coups for the exceptionally diverse Fantastic Planet Film Festival.”

Science fiction and fantasy are genres driven by ideas, which were in abundance at Fantastic Planet. “There are obviously films within the festival that are the bigger action or effects box-ticking type films,” says Bertram. “But we program a lot of independent science fiction as well. Perhaps because those filmmakers are working with smaller budgets and they have to be dependent on ideas or a very strong story or performances, so it has to be more cerebral. They don’t have tens of millions of dollars to sell it just by blowing the audience away with special effects.”
