Altneuland Program
As part of Israel's 60th anniversary celebrations, Icon Festival observes the greatest science fiction project of all time: The State of Israel.
A call for a series of lectures on the subject of "revolution".
the essence of the existence of the state of israel is a combination of miracle, expectations of utopianism and distopian anxiety.
Its revolutionary foundation and its countinious survival is often described as what fantasies are made from.
However fantasy and sci-fi literature never received the worthy attention in the public academic conversation in Israel.
