Meet the Emshwillers: Pioneers of Art and Tech

Who are the Emshwillers? According to local film nerds, they're like the Velvet Underground of science fiction. Carol and Ed Emshwiller were influential artists who paved the way for experimental film and science fiction literature all the way back in the 1950s. Even though they both have an impressive legacy spanning decades, you might not know much about them.

On Nov. 14, Susan Emshwiller will present her parents' beautiful and bizarre art for a special night of sci-fi fun at Midtown Sky Cinemas in Santa Fe at 6:30pm. It'll feature rare screenings of Ed's films, selected readings from Carol's short stories, and a Q&A with Susan. Speculative Southwest will be hosting the event.
