The Bay Area, home to Philip K. Dick for the majority of his lifetime, is the perfect location for the event, allowing fans and scholars to step into Dick’s own past and retrace his steps in this vibrant city by the bay. Sept 22-23, 2012 will be a weekend long celebration and examination of Dick’s life and work with attendees from all over the world.
The conference’s guest of honor will be none other than Jonathan Lethem, the editor for Philip K Dick’s three volumes from the prestigious Library of America, an editor of The Exegesis of Philip K Dick (from Houghton Mifflin), and a celebrated novelist in his own right. Lethem currently holds the Roy E. Disney Chair in Creative Writing at Pomona College and his writing about Philip K Dick appears in his essay collections The Disappointment Artist, and The Ecstasy of Influence.
Other confirmed guests include: Pam Jackson (Editor, Philip K Dick’s Exegesis), Erik Davis (Annotations Editor for the recent publication of The Exegesis), John Alan Simon (director of Radio Free Albemuth), Sam Umland (Chair of English Department at University of Nebraska Kearney and author of Contemporary Critical Interpretations: Philip K Dick), Douglas Mackey (author of Philip K Dick, Twayne’s United States Author Series), Umberto Rossi (independent scholar and author ofThe Twisted Worlds of Philip K Dick), Marc Haefele (an Assistant Editor at Doubleday who worked with Philip K Dick on his masterpiece novels Ubik and Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?), William Sarill (a longtime friend of Philip K Dick who helped Dick develop the religious system in his novel A Maze of Death), and many, many more.

Can[t wait to see it again. saw it after the hugo awards at worldcon.
Hear this is one that does justice to PKD. Finally.
I’ve got my tickets! David Gill loves this movie I’m in.
Can’t wait to meet you at PKD Festival and see RFA. I’m halfway thru the Exegesis. What a mind PKD had.
Hi, Jordan – Looking forward to meeting you, too
RFA brings it. I was skeptical because waiting so long for it, but Simon did a great job he should be proud of and Dick fans will dig.
PKD festival was the best of its kind. High point was seeing your movie. you captured the characters. actor playing philip dick was great.
Hey thanks for bringing your movie to the festival. This needs to get out in the theatre. Best PKD adaptation yet.
RADIO FREE ALBEMUTH rocks. amazing job!
John Simon should adapt all of PKD’s books. You got it going, man.
PKD Fest was awesome in true sense of the word. Seeing your film was perfect ending. You guys did an amazing job. Right up there with Scanner Darkly.
Thanks for screening your film for us. Great job.
Sent you guys an email. Will fillm be in St Louis??
We had a great time screening Radio Free Albemuth at St. Louis Film Festival. Would be great if St. Louis is one of the cities that RFA plays in theatres. Stay tuned for upcoming announcements here and on Facebook.
