scienceplusfiction was created in 2000, with the desire to receive the inheritance of the “International Science Fiction Film Festival of Trieste”, that took place from 1963 to 1982. The project of the research institute La Cappella Underground is to take Trieste back to the center of Italian science fiction, by organizing a festival that is meant to explore all the fields of science fiction, paying a particular attention to the cinema, but also sweeping over comics, literature and theater.
