Celebrate The X-Files‘ 30th anniversary with Chris Carter and Joel McHale with an exclusive screening of the new documentary X Fan Retrospective. Directed by Lauren Krattiger and Carly Blake, X Fan Retrospective features nearly 100 cast and crew interviews and is “the most comprehensive exploration of the show’s influence, featuring personal insights and inspiring stories from the creators, actors, crew, and fans worldwide.”
In addition to the special documentary screening, event organizers The Action Station will honor X-Files creator Chris Carter for his contributions to genre TV. Joel McHale, actor and X-Files guest star, will moderate a conversation with Carter.
All attendees will receive their very own pack of Morley Cigarettes, which fans will recognize as the Smoking Man’s brand of choice. Fans will also enjoy themed photo opps, giveaways, and more surprises that we can’t tell you about just yet — it’s classified.
Show creator Chris Carter expressed his excitement, stating, “It’s mind-bending to think we did something 30 years ago that’s as relevant today in our conspiracy-obsessed culture as it was when the show first caught fire in 1993.”
The Action Station Co-Founder Ron Fogelman emphasized the new documentary’s significance in launching the event series; “Launching ‘The Action Station’ with a NYC event honoring a cultural phenomenon, featuring the extraordinary documentary, and having the participation of legendary creator Chris Carter in the event, marks a truly special beginning. We’re hard at work to craft an unforgettable night, and capture the spirit of the show and its dedicated fandom.”
Julian Alcantara, Co-Founder of The Action Station, added, “We eagerly anticipate our first NYC event, fueled by the tremendous response garnered from both editions of the London Action Festival. The positive feedback extends not only from our appreciative audiences, who value our blend of entertainment and information, but also from the Content Providers across the industry who have shown incredible support for our events.
The X-Files celebration is happening Friday, May 3rd at the SCA Theaters in New York ( 333 W 23rd Street, New York NY 10011 ) at 6pm. Get your tickets at the official X Fan Retrospective website, and get 10% off with code FANGORIA.
