Australia's 1st Classic Sci-Fi Con

Con-9 from Outer Space!

Rocket-ships, robots and ray guns.. oh my!

Australia's first Ever Sci-fi Convention dedicated to the "golden age" of classic Sci-Fi movies, TV shows and radio programmes up to 1965!

Pure classic all the way, and its all for a non-profit organization, this means that you will NOT be over-charged for a thing, and will be based around the fun of the event and not the vulture blood suckers of what this country is used to.
Just to think, this is the 1st ever!, so give it time and soon there will be quests, and it will grow out of gastronomical proportions.. hell wait till next year, I will even put up my own film for a competition. Get more out of life and have some fun!
This is on 14th-15th of JULY 2012, 

• Short Fan Fiction competition
• Neuvo Retro short film competition
• Costume competition
  
• A two strand panel programme chock full of discussions and presentations based around the golden age of Sci-Fi
• A dedicated video programme containing long forgotten material that hasn't seen the light of day in decades
• A classic Sci-Fi film festival featuring all original material
• Giveaways
• Displays
• A classic 50's Midday Matinee movie screening complete with a cartoon, serial short (with mandatory cliff hanger ending) and even Jaffas
• A really cheap entry fee
• Loads of laughs as we look back to a time when Sci-Fi movies were something the whole family could watch and enjoy

Tell me more, like where did Con 9 come from???
Con 9 From Outer Space grew out of a dissatisfaction with the way Science Fiction conventions (cons) have developed in recent years. Those based around Media had eschewed most of the traditional con trappings and became either expensive seminars with guests from TV shows/movies, or large scale exhibitions with lots to see yet lacking the camaraderie and intimacy of the older style cons. Those based around literature still followed the traditional con pattern, but were geared very much towards “Speculative Fiction” and had little to entice the Movie & TV buff.

We put together a list of all the things we wanted to see and could squeeze into an event of feasible size and budget, and Con 9 is the result. As the title suggests it’s based around the sort of "B" Sci-Fi movies that Deadly Earnest might have screened on TV in the 1960’s. This is a very familiar genre which many of us grew up on and love, but which has not really been covered before at Australian Sci-Fi events.

At Con 9 you'll get to enjoy rekindling your love of classic Sci-Fi with likeminded enthusiasts at an entry price you won’t have to mortgage the house for.
