ENVIRONMENTAL PROBLEMS AND SF FILMS

Mata Bošnjaković ; Zavod za kulturu Hrvatske, Zagreb

Sažetak

The survey of films typical for SF genre films has warned us to the fact that the conscience of ecology is present in SF films since the very beginnings, i.e since the fall of 19th century.
Whether speaking of documentaries or feature films we may state that the film art has kept the pace with our conscience and knowledge of eco-systems.
Having discussed the motifs and iconography of SF genre the author analyses several paradigmatic films and points to the formation of specific sub-genres films as e.g.: films on catastrophes, films on mutants, films on encounters, films on invasions and searches, films on danger of encounters etc.
The SF films very often base the story on a real event or ecological problem, though they are still mainly preoccupied with the fiction - they are still fiction films; but the fiction, unfortunately for mankind often comes true. Thus we may safely say that the abbreviation SF stands for society fiction.
