The words of Alan Jones

Fortunately the world is returning to normal and the Trieste Science + Fiction Festival is also doing the same, through the rediscovery of its stellar roots. The 2022 edition will represent an authentic ‘Back to the SuperFutures’, thanks to a far-reaching program for all fans of science fiction and fantasy. There really is something for everyone in these first films that will make up the vast program of the 2022 edition. It is the first time that I am directing this extraordinary festival and it will be a great pleasure to meet and greet you all.
