Aniara (2018) & High Life (2018): Existential Space Journeys

In this episode of Journey Through Sci-Fi , we explore the darker side of the space subgenre. First we discuss Aniara (2018) , the Swedish sci-fi drama about a spaceship carrying refugees from Earth that is knocked off course and left drifting endlessly through space. Then we look at High Life (2018) , Claire Denis' unsettling film about prisoners sent on a deep-space mission toward a black hole. Together these films show how modern science fiction can portray space not as a frontier of discovery, but as a vast and terrifying void. Journey Through Sci-Fi explores the history of science-fiction cinema one subgenre at a time .
