TENTATIVELY RESCHEDULED TO APRIL 2022.

Dir. Gisella Bustillos will be speaking about time travel narratives and consciousness at the Science of Consciousness Conference 2020 in Tuscon, AZ this coming April. More information to be announced soon…

Abstract: Time travel narratives offer an insightful analysis on an individual's perception of time. One could argue that the very act of consuming media can be seen as dislocating one's consciousness to the present and thus, reality. In this talk I will explore the evolution of the time travel genre and how its narrative structures are evolving our perceptions of temporality. In particular: 1) the conceptualization of time based on rituals and myths from precursors to the time travel genre as seen in literature, 2) the nature of subjective time travel in cinematic storytelling: memory, nostalgia, and altered conscious states, and 3) the malleability of time travel in emerging media: using video games to explore subjective temporal existences. I will illustrate these points further with examples taken from various media and explore the interconnectedness of time and consciousness.

A Brief History of Time Travel will be screening in the Czech Republic!

About the Festival

A truly unique film festival overtly dedicated to the domain of Hermetica: The Unorthodoxy underlying the mainstream intellectual history, the neglected Heterodoxy rooted in our cultural legacy, the eternal search for understanding the Inexplicable, the everlasting fascination for the Supramundane, the timeless allure of the Supernatural.

We’re so delighted to have some fantastic news in the midst of the current times; A Brief History of Time Travel will have its South America Premiere at the Fantaspoa Film Festival in Porto Alegre, Brazil! The timing of the festival is subject to change, and we’ll be receiving the date confirmation in August.
