Cyrano de Bergerac wrote about a trip to the moon that was published in 1657. So did Jules Verne in 1865, this time using hard scientific facts. Georges Mlis made the first movie showing a trip to the moon in 1902. In comics, Herg had Tintin walk on the moon in 1954, 15 years before Armstrong. Artist Jean-Claude Mzires work was clearly the inspiration for many of the aliens and spaceships in George Lucas #39; Star Wars saga. These are just a few of many unique French contributions to science fiction that rightly deserves to be better known. POW! features a dozen scholars from across Canada, the United States and France, discussing the role of science and fantasy in French science fiction, the influence of key authors in the genre #39;s history, as well as the impact of films and graphic novels on the public perception of the genre #39;s nature. The event will be highlighted by a public, keynote lecture by the preeminent science fiction author from Qubec, lisabeth Vonarburg, to be delivered on Friday November 2nd at the Language Institute Rotunda, LI216, at 8 pm Check out the poster for the conference here: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nmsl.uregina.ca\" rel=\"nofollow\">http:\/\/www.nmsl.uregina.ca<\/a> Intro animation by Gerald Saul.
