FedCon 32 | Vortrag | 30 Jahre Akte X in Deutschland

30 years of “The X-Files” in Germany – if that’s not a reason to celebrate.

Media journalists, authors and columnists Reinhard Prahl and Björn Sülter think so too and dedicate around 60 entertaining minutes to the phenomenon of a series that still has millions of fans today and may even be relaunched soon.

In their panel, the two hosts will not only talk about their personal relationship with the X-Files, but also discuss the “real” X-Files, which inspired the series creators to write many stories. In keeping with the anniversary, the author duo will also present their latest literary prank, “Die Ake X Chronik, Band 1: Die erste Staffel”, in which they not only offer detailed reviews of each episode of the debut season, but also go into detail about the background, scientific facts and interesting anecdotes and fact files.

Lecturer: Reinhard Prahl, Björn Sülter

Duration: 60 min - The Lecture will be held in: german
