2122. Ellen Ripley and her fellow travellers are covering light years on board the spaceship Nostromo. Destination: Earth<\/strong>. They pick up a distress call coming from planet LV-426, the spaceship changes course and\u2026The rest is history. Film history<\/strong>. But can hibernation be the solution for future interplanetary exploration<\/strong>? The European Space Agency and Nasa are working on it because they see its future possibilities. Meanwhile, we will hear how Saturnino, an alien coming from planet Earth, hibernates in order to travel to Drakon and save himself from the end of the world. Saturnino is a space migrant. Will we all become migrants to run from Earth on fire?<\/p>\n Once again the TS+FF morning talks will explore the borders between science and science fiction<\/strong> and the short circuit between fiction and reality<\/strong>. So, among docs & talks<\/strong>, we will inquire about the future of our species by intercepting signs from the present<\/strong>.<\/p>\n We will talk about forced migrations as a consequence of climate change<\/strong>, of the excessive amount of plastic<\/strong> suffocating our planet, but also of the energy transition necessary to mitigate global warming and its catastrophic consequences after the carbon, oil and gas bender we all embarked in, because even though no social and technological progress would have been possible without these resources, today we can safely state that they are no longer sustainable.<\/p>\n We will also examine the development of artificial intelligence<\/strong> and its effects on our lives: a recurring theme in many of the films of the 2019 edition of the Trieste Science+Fiction Festival<\/strong>. What would, for example, be the impact of robots<\/strong> able to tell jokes, talk about music, films and books, cook, clean the house, look after children and elderly people, and have sex, too? No longer science fiction, but already a reality<\/strong>, because sex robots are already amongst us and stirring debate.<\/p>\n Free entry to all the events and in Italian.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n 10.00 \u2013 Alien: the origins Film: 11.00 \u2013\u00a0 <\/span>The misfortunes of the tram of Opcina 12.00 – The first border, looking beyond the weird 10.00 –\u00a0 <\/span>From inflatable dolls to sex robots: AI and sex industry 11.00 – Sci-Fi daydream or clinical miracle?

\nIn the year of Alien\u2019s 40th anniversary<\/strong>, the Futurologia meetings<\/strong> take off from Ridley Scott\u2019s iconic movie to explore the origin of a masterpiece defining the science-horror genre. But they will also give fans the chance to get to know the science of hyper-sleep<\/strong>.
\nCaptain Dallas and the rest of the crew are hibernated in order to be able to survive the long space journey.<\/p>\nTHE PROGRAM (Ridottino Miela)<\/b><\/h3>\n
WEDNESDAY OCTOBER 30TH<\/h3>\n
\n<\/i><\/b>Two critics and a director engage in a conversation around a cult film which, 40 years after its release, still shapes the collective imaginary of the audience and which has marked a turning point within science fiction cinema.

\n<\/b>Waiters, caregivers, but not only. Sex robots are already among us and at the centre of discussion. At the centre of the stage there\u00a0is technology, but ethics as well. Are these the new sex slaves? Do they symbolise a further drift of the dehumanisation of human relations?
