Tag X

In his documentary feature DAY X, Austrian auteur Christian Tod unveils the story of how American tech billionaires Elon Musk and Peter Thiel co-opted science fiction into fascist space dreams, visions of interplanetary empires, and CEO rule instead of democracy of the people, by the people, for the people. Revisiting the origins of space-flight and the cinematic visions of lifting humanity into a new era, a unique blend of archive and sci-fi films spanning from the early 1900s to today powerfully conveys how ideas can infect and bend reality.
